iall McGinn admits Celtic will lose a hero and role-model when goalkeeper Artur Boruc completes his move from Parkhead to Fiorentina.[LNB] Boruc is to quit Parkhead after the Italian club confirmed they had agreed a fee with Celtic, with the 30-year-old ready to complete his move once he has passed a medical.[LNB]He has been a controversial character in the five years since his move from Legia Warsaw, making more than 200 appearances during that time.[LNB]McGinn fears his departure will leave a huge void in the dressing room but insists life will go on without the popular fans' favourite, who had a year left on his current deal.[LNB]"It's a disappointment because he has been here for a few years and he has served the club well," said the Celtic winger, as he promoted the club's new kit.[LNB]"He's a person someone like myself looks up to and he's a big hero with the fans so it's disappointing to see him going.[LNB]"He's a big player. He just goes about his own business and just gets on with things.[LNB]"Having a man like Artur around the squad is always good for the young boys like myself to look up to.[LNB]"But you've got to expect these changes in football and move on and push on and do the best for yourself."[LNB]Whether boss Neil Lennon now launches the search for a new number one remains to be seen.[LNB]But McGinn believes Boruc's fellow countryman Lukasz Zaluska is more than capable of claiming the gloves.[LNB]He said: "He came in a few times last season and played in a run of games when Artur was out injured or whatever.[LNB]"I think Lukasz is more than good enough to come in and follow in his footsteps."
