The Holy Goalie brings the curtain down on his career against his former club in Poland.
And what a send off he got. Interestingly Stephen Welsh is the only one of the Celtic starting XI to remain on the pitch as we reach the hour mark. There's still plenty effort from the XI out on the pitch for Celtic but the play has looked a bit more disjointed in the second half. Boruc played the entire first half and was replaced by Tobiasz at half-time but now he is replaced by Miszta for the final 20 minutes. The game gets stopped in the final minute as the main man of the evening Artur Boruc comes on for one final time. Kyogo picks up the ball inside the box but his shot is blocked and the chance escapes the Celtic striker. Ange Postecoglou's side led 2-0 at the interval in Poland but Legia rallied after the break to ensure Boruc didn't bow out in defeat to his old club. Celtic and Legia Warsaw served up an entertaining send-off for Artur Boruc as the cult hero keeper brought the curtain down on his career. It wasn't a pretty second half and some Celtic fans will worry that some of the fringe players didn't do enough to stake a permanent place in the side. The scoreline finished 2-2 with Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda giving the Hoops a half time lead before a second half fightback from the hosts. At the ripe old page of 42, Artur Boruc is getting a Celtic send off to mark the end of his 24 year playing career. The Holy Goalie hung up his gloves in the summer after two years at his beloved Legia Warsaw, and there could only be one choice for the opposition to mark the occasion.
