Artur Boruc in Celtic farewell plea as he begs stayaway Legia fans to turn up even if they want to ABUSE him

Artur Boruc has begged fans to buy tickets for his farewell match next week against Celtic after it emerged that the ground could be just a tenth full.

The 42-year-old retired at the end of the season and Legia Warsaw have arranged one final match for the Polish keeper with the Scottish Premiership champions on Wednesday. However, Legia revealed that just 3,825 tickets have been sold for the 31,800-capacity ground after complaints that the ticket prices were far too high and Boruc is desperate not to play in a near-deserted stadium.

He said: "First of all, I won't make any money from the tickets, nor did I set the prices. I signed a contract with Legia to arrange this match. My only priority is to say goodbye to the fans. I left Celtic a long time ago and there is practically no one at the club left that I know.
