Josip Juranovic and his existing Celtic mentor as Artur Boruc offers farewell embrace after 'end of adventure'

Celtic supporters were left giddy on Thursday night as social media was set ablaze by their incoming right-back netting the goal of the night in Europe.

Josip Juranovic 's howitzer away to Slavia Prague came after a stunning first touch on a run that led him from one end of the pitch to the other.

The goal was vital as it helped the visitors secure a 2-2 draw but the man who netted the opener won't be playing in the return leg - with the club's own fan site labelling it "the end of the adventure".

That's because Juranovic is heading to Glasgow to put the finishing touches on his Celtic deal after the Parkhead side agreed a £2.6m deal with Legia for his services.

And he certainly won't he heading to his team unaware of what to expect as his current Legia team-mate Artur Boruc is Celtic royalty.

The pair shared a warm embrace at the final whistle before the emotional Croatia international soaked up his final appearance for the club as he was the last man to leave the pitch.

The 41-year-old's first love is Legia but the maverick keeper became a cult icon during four action-packed years in Glasgow under Gordon Strachan before he joined Fiorentina in 2009.

The Holy Goalie still regularly salutes the Hoops faithful and even shared a post remembering a 3-1 win to Aberdeen 14 years previously on his Instagram.

And he will have no doubt primed his pal for what to expect as he looks to become a smash hit with his new team under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou.
