Strachan stands by his ‘Holy Goalie’

CELTIC manager Gordon Strachan will stand by under-fire goalkeeper Artur Boruc by keeping him in his side for tonight’s Champions League clash with Villarreal.

The Poland international’s latest high-profile error this season came at Hibernian on Sunday when he let a speculative 45-yard strike from John Rankin slip through his body to help end the champions’ 12-match winning run in the Scottish Premier League.

Numerous pundits and former Celtic players have called for Strachan to drop the player, who has also been plagued by highly-publicised off-field problems this season.
