Legia Warsaw will host Celtic at the Polish Army Stadium in the Polish capital on Wednesday in a friendly to honour departing goalkeeper Artur Boruc.
He's a legend at both clubs, having spent five years with Celtic, making 221 appearances and winning six titles, and eight years with Warsaw across two spells. During his first stint in his native Poland, Boruc won the league and the league cup before adding another top-flight title with them last year. The 42-year-old is now set to hang up his boots to call time on his 24-year-long career.
Warsaw have started their 2022-23 season, while Celtic play their penultimate friendly game of the summer before kickstarting their Scottish Premiership campaign.
Legia Warsaw vs Celtic Head-To-Head
Warsaw and Celtic have met only twice, both in the 2014 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round.
The Polish outfit won the first leg 4-1 at home before pulling off a 2-0 victory in Glasgow. However, they fielded an ineligible player in the tie, so UEFA handed Celtic a 3-0 walkover.

Legia Warsaw vs Celtic Prediction
Warsaw could play a largely weakened side, as they have one eye on their upcoming league clash with Zaglebie on Saturday.
Celtic, meanwhile, aren't done with their pre-season yet and could continue their preparations by playing a strong lineup, which means they could win here.
Prediction: Legia Warsaw 1-2 Celtic.
