Club career
Čeh started his career with his hometown club Drava Ptuj. By the age of 17 he was playing in the first team in the 2. SNL. In the 1996/1997 season he moved from NK Drava Ptuj to NK Maribor, later spending one season at NK Olimpija before returning to Maribor and then moving on to Club Brugge. His first season at the club brought success in the Belgian Cup, and the following season Čeh helped the club win their 12th league title. In August 2002 he scored a late equalising goal in the second-leg of Brugge's Champions League third round qualifying tie against Shakhtar Donetsk. Brugge then went on to qualify through a penalty shootout. In 2005 Čeh was sold to Austria Wien. Jupiler League team Charleroi tried to buy Čeh in late August 2006 but in 2007 Čeh left Austria and signed for Russian Premier Liga side FC Khimki, where the Slovene playmaker was given the number 10 shirt. On 5 January 2009 he left Khimki and moved to Greek club Panserraikos.[1] After a short spell in Greece, he signed for Rijeka.[2], spending a season there before moving on yet again to play in Israel.
International career
Čeh was capped 46 times for Slovenia and scored 6 goals. He made two appearances for the national team during the 2002 FIFA World Cup, both times coming on as a substitute.

In late April, 2011, it was revealed by the Slovenian media that Maribor police department is, for the past six months, investigating an illegal betting organization and six individuals, four of which were from the Maribor area and had already been taken into custody.[3] The Police has also revealed that two other collaborators are still at large and that one of those is Goran Šukalo, who allegedly invested over 1,9 million euros in the organization, in 2011, the majority of which he collected from other professional players.[3] Šukalo categoricly denied his involvement in the matter[4][5], however, it was revealed by the media and the police that investigators had been tapping the phones of the four persons currently in custody and has recorded a conversation between Šukalo and the leader of the illegal organization [Kosta Turner] when Šukalo revealed that another football player, Nastja Čeh, is still owing him 73 [thousand] euros and is avoiding payment.[6] Allegedly this is the reason why Čeh pawned his property near Ptuj to Kosta Turner, what is visible from the official real estate papers.[6]
