The Poland international, who has become a hero at the Parkhead club since arriving from Legia Warsaw in 2005, was recently honoured by Celtic supporters with a tribute dinner in Glasgow.[LNB]And the 29-year-old claims that when he has retired from football, he will join them cheering on the team.[LNB]"I feel proud to have represented Celtic for so many years," Boruc told Celtic's website.[LNB]"Some people don't realise just how big a club it is and how much it means to people.[LNB]"Joining Celtic has had a massive impact on my own life as well. It has changed my life in so many ways.[LNB]"A lot has happened in the last years and I will always have a strong connection with the club.[LNB]"Celtic is now a part of me. I look upon myself as a Celtic supporter.[LNB]"Before I signed, I thought Legia was the only club in the world for me, but coming to Celtic has changed all that.[LNB]"The people who know me back home in Poland can't believe the way I feel about Celtic.[LNB]"It's even had an impact on all of my friends - they look for the Celtic score every week.[LNB]"Celtic mean a lot to me and I look forward to coming back to watch the team when I am an old man.[LNB]"I will travel to an away game, have a few drinks with the fans and then cheer on the team in the stands.[LNB]"I would love that. It would be really nice."[LNB]Boruc has picked up three Scottish Premier League winners' medal, a Scottish Cup winners' medal and two Co-operative Insurance Cup winners' medals in his time in Scotland but claims the victory in the final of the latter tournament over Old Firm rivals Rangers last season has been a highlight.[LNB]He said: "I have won a few trophies for Celtic now and I think winning the Co-operative Insurance League Cup last season was one of the best.[LNB]"We were playing Rangers and I don't know if there's a better feeling than beating them in the final and getting to lift a trophy after it. All the trophies mean a lot to me though.[LNB]"Winning the League Cup in 2006 was special because it was my first trophy and all the SPL titles have been good too.[LNB]"When I came here, I was desperate to win the league and the cups and it's a great feeling to manage it.[LNB]"That's why you play for Celtic - to be successful and be the best side in Scotland."[LNB][LNB]
