Legia Warsaw will give Celtic around 2,000 tickets for the Artur Boruc farewell match later this month, according to Polish website Sportowefakty.
The fixture will take place on July 20th, with the report stating that Boruc could potentially play for both sides in what will be an emotional occasion for the player.
The match will be at Legia’s Stadion Miejski, which boats a capacity of over 31k. And it appears that a small section of that will house the Celtic supporters lucky enough to head over and see the fixture.
Celtic have yet to announce the sale of tickets for this one. Instead, the focus at the moment appears to be on snapping up briefs for the games against Rapid Vienna and Banik Ostrava.
However, there will undoubtedly be some Celtic supporters looking to sneak their way into the home end if possible. It remains to be seen if the game is a sell-out, with Boruc being a popular figure amongst both sets of supporters.
The Polish international made just under 200 appearances for the Hoops and won 6 trophies during his time in Glasgow [Transfermarkt].
Celtic fans will be itching to snap up tickets for Artur Boruc send-off
Boruc continues to be one of the most popular players certainly in Celtic’s recent history. Perhaps the greatest goalkeeper the club has ever had, Artur made his name for himself in the Champions League and in Glasgow derby matches against Rangers.
His personality also made him a favourite amongst the supporters, who loved the passion in which he showed for the club.
It’s great to be able to have this occasion to remember him, even if tensions between Legia and Celtic remain high after our controversial Champions League qualifier in 2014.
It’ll be an even more special occasion for supporters if Boruc does indeed play for both sides. It would certainly be fitting to see him in a Celtic jersey one last time before he officially hangs up the boots.
In fact, it could be the last time we see Artur in a football pitch flat out for some time. He’s already stated that he plans to spend a prolonged period away from the game when he retires after the fixture.
Hopefully, it’s a fitting occasion for a special player.
