After helping the Celtic legends to a penalty shoot-out victory over Manchester United Artur Boruc took off his yellow Celtic shirt to reveal a Palestine football top.

The Polish goalkeeper was never far from controversy during five years as a Celtic player where he refused to conform to the strange norms expected by the Scottish media.

After crossing himself at Ibrox during a Glasgow Derby he was warned by Police Scotland about his future behaviour.

At Celtic Park in 2008 after a home win over Rangers he took off his Celtic shirt to reveal a t-shirt recognising Pope John Paul II which Gordon Strachan was grilled about in his post match media conference.

Celtic were trailing Manchester United 2-0 before late goals from Scott McDonald and Shaun Maloney earned a draw with Boruc the hero of the shoot-out, just as he was in 2006 with a penalty save from Luis Saha in a famous Celtic win.

In 2022 Celtic played Legia Warsaw in Boruc’s Testimonial Match.
