Boruc earns boss praise

Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc earned a ringing endorsement from manager Gordon Strachan after his performance in Wednesday's CIS Cup win over Dundee.

The Bhoys' number one had come under fire for a series of blunders in the SPL defeat at the hands of Hibernian on Sunday.

But the Poland international redeemed himself after taking a starring role in the 2-1 third round victory over the first division side.

"Artur's a top-class goalkeeper and he has a mental strength that is absolutely fantastic," said Strachan.

"You need that to get to the top. We are just happy that Artur Boruc is the Celtic goalkeeper."

Dundee player-manager Alex Rae echoed those sentiments, saying: "Artur Boruc was back on form.

"We hit the woodwork twice and forced him to make a couple of great saves."
