Ex-Celtic star looks unrecognisable with rarely seen glasses and bald hairstyle | The Sun

THIS former Celtic star looks very different from when he was starring at Parkhead.

Now having gone bald and wearing glasses, it's difficult to recognise him as he lines up for the Hoops legends team against Liverpool this afternoon.



Legendary Polish goalkeeper Artur Boruc has jetted into the UK to take part in the charity match at Anfield today.

Nicknamed 'the Holy Goalie' by the Hoops support during his time at Celtic, he was recognised as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe during his prime.

The no-nonsense hard man between the sticks signed for the Scottish giants in 2005.

Joining initially on loan in the summer from Legia Warsaw, he then made the move permanent shortly after and went on to make over 150 appearances for the club before announcing his exit five years later.

He left for Italian side Fiorentina before returning to the UK with Southampton and Bournemouth later in his career and retired last year aged 42 following a short stint back at his boyhood club Legia.

Capped 65 times by Poland, Boruc had three standout performances at Euro 2008 before his nation were knocked out in the group stage.

He was considered one of the best stoppers in the competition that year despite only making three group appearances.

Boruc is considered one of the best Celtic and Polish goalkeepers of all time.
