Watch Josip Juranovic get ready for Celtic with emotional Legia Warsaw farewell party led by Artur Boruc

Legia Warsaw have published heartwarming footage of new Celtic signing Josip Juranovic saying goodbye to his teammates.

And the farewell tributes were led by Artur Boruc who was up to give the departing right-back a bear hug.

Croatia defender Juranovic ended Ange Postecoglou 's hunt for a new right-back when he put pen to paper on a Parkhead switch last week.

The deal was known to Juranovic and his Legia teammates ahead of their Europa League clash with Slavia Prague, in which he signed off with an important goal.

He's been criticised in Poland for leaving the club in between European ties but he remains a widely respected player at Legia.

The 26-year-old only signed from Hajduk Split a year ago but a £2.7m move to Celtic sees them make a hefty profit on the £350,000 they paid to sign him.

He now heads to Celtic Park to start the next stage of his career but not before giving a farewell speech to his teammates - which was caught on camera and published on Legia Warsaw's Twitter.

The heartwarming clip shows Juranovic hugging his manager and a 41-year-old Boruc, who remains their first-choice keeper.

He then addresses his teammates, saying: "Guys, what can I say? I am here only one year and because of you, I play in the national team and I make this transfer.

"Thank you so much."

Juranovic won't make his debut against St Mirren on Saturday or against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday, with next weekend's derby with Rangers his first chance to get on the pitch.
