# Celtic: Fans fall in love with Artur Boruc all over again after club tweet

**A lot of Celtic fans have been quick to praise former goalkeeper Artur Boruc after the club [tweeted](https://twitter.com/CelticFC/status/1247917795083419648?s=20) about his heroic performance back in 2007.**

The Hoops were fighting for a place in the UEFA Champions League group stage and had to do it the hard way by going through qualifiers, via [Celtic FC.](https://www.celticfc.net/news/17819)

They were drawn against Russian side Spartak Moscow in the third round, and it was 1-1 after the first leg. The tie eventually went to penalties after another 1-1 draw in the second leg, where the man in between the sticks for Celtic became the hero, saving a spot kick from Maksym Kalynychenko to grant the Scottish side their place in Europe for the 2007/08 season.

The 65-time Polish international enjoyed six seasons at the club, keeping 76 clean sheets in 192 appearances including nine in the Champions League ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/artur-boruc/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/15220/verein/371)) before moving to the Premier League to play for both Southampton and AFC Bournemouth.

Here is what fans had to say about him following the post:

> I was there with my son and his girlfriend, her first game. I lost count of the penalties and thought there was one more to go after the save! Also remember their winger made Lee Naylor look like he was towing a caravan. Unbelievable pace. One of the best nights at paradise.
