On This Day in 2005, Celtic signed Artur Boruc from Legia Warsaw. The Polish goalkeeper arrived on an initial loan deal before making the move permanent a few months later. He would be a key figure at Celtic for years to come.

Boruc made 221 appearances for Celtic, earning a number of plaudits as well as winning three League titles, two League cups, and one Scottish Cup.
