Brozek follows in Boruc's footsteps

The Polish player had been playing for Turkish Club Trabzonspor, and although the loan is technically valid until the end of the season, the Glasgow club has an option to make the contract permanent.

“Celtic were very determined to sign me so I never had any hesitation when they came in for me,” he revealed in an interview with the UK Press Association.

That said, he acknowledged that the success of other Poles at Celtic had played a part in his decision.

“Of course the presence of other Poles who have been at the club influenced me.” he said.

“Lukasz Zaluska is here and of course [former team members] Maciej Zurawski and Artur Boruc, who I spoke with.”

Goalie Artur Boruc spent five years at the Glasgow club, winning the hearts of Celtic's fanbase.

“It's hard to beat such a club legend who the fans respect so much and who was such a hero, but obviously it is something to aspire to,” Brozek said.

“I am very happy that I have made it to the club and I will do everything to make sure I give as good a performance as possible.” (nh)
