Six months ago Josip Juranovic sought out the thoughts of a veteran goalkeeper when he had an offer to move to Scotland.
The veteran keeper knew a thing about the Scottish game, he is still celebrated in song more than a decade after leaving Celtic.
Juranovic hasn’t yet achieved the cult status of Artur Boruc but he has taken to life at Celtic and the adulation of the fans.
“He said this opportunity to play for Celtic was one I needed to take. He said I would love it here because of the fans and the city.”

Boruc turned out to be a bit of a maverick, a law onto himself but he certainly left his mark on Celtic with his former Legia Warsaw team-mate unlikely to attract similar headlines off the park.
Whether it is a Croat or a Pole it seems that there is something of a Celtic spirit that kicks in when they discovered a certain plot in the east end of Glasgow.
With Boruc win the title in each of his first three seasons at Celtic and reaching the last 16 of the Champions League in his second and third a decent benchmark has been set for his former Legia team-mate.
