Ľubomír Moravčík (born June 22, 1965 in Nitra) is a former footballer from Slovakia, who played internationally for Czechoslovakia (42 caps, seven goals) and Slovakia (37 caps, six goals). He was a member of the Czechoslovakian team at Italia 90, where he was sent off against Germany in the quarter-final in Milan.
Moravčík played for Saint-Étienne, Bastia and MSV Duisburg before moving to Scottish side Celtic in November 1998. Signed by fellow Slovakian Dr Jozef Vengloš for a fee of just £300,000, he became a hero in the eyes of the Parkhead faithful, forming an outstanding partnership with Henrik Larsson.
Moravčík's first two goals for Celtic came against their arch-rivals Rangers on November 21, 1998, in what turned out to be a memorable 5–1 victory in the midst of a very poor season. He stayed at Celtic Park for a total of four seasons, winning two SPL championships, one Scottish Cup and two CIS Insurance Cups. He played his last competitive game in Scotland for Lochee United in a friendly game versus a Lubo Moravcik select, which Lochee lost on penalties.
Moravčík is his country's most capped player, with a total of 79 appearances for Czechoslovakia and Slovakia. He started a career of coach as a manager of Slovak national U-17 team. Popular 'Ľubo' is currently coaching FC ViOn Zlaté Moravce, the team from highest Slovak league - Corgoň Liga.
