Just when you thought Rangers’ injury-time victory over Legia Warsaw couldn’t get any better, step forward former Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc.

The rotund stopper was in the crowd giving it big ones on a megaphone as he watched his countrymen get outsung and outfought in Glasgow.

And if the now Bournemouth goalie taking the trip north to see his side papped out wasn’t bad enough – it might even cost him his job.

Remembered by Rangers fans mostly for his howlers, the “holy goalie” *cringe* decided to palm off Bournemouth because he was so desperate to come to Ibrox.

It’s not going down at all well with Eddie Howe, with some reports claiming that time may be up for the stopper.

“I only knew about it very late last night, so it’s not really ideal,” Cherries boss Howe said on Friday, as quoted by talkSPORT.

“It’s something I’ll have to talk to Artur about today.

“I don’t know too much about the details of it, but I know that he was there and I’ll be discussing that with him today.”

Artur Boruc played for Celtic between 2005 and 2010 and was a popular figure amongst the Parkhead support.

But for Rangers fans he’ll be remembered most for fumbling the ball at the feet of Kenny Miller in a 4-2 Rangers win at Parkhead in 2005 and that air swipe against Northern Ireland in a 3-2 defeat for Poland in 2009.
