Boruc: Rangers are 'enemies'

Goalkeeper Artur Boruc has confirmed it was his dislike for Rangers which meant he did not shake hands with any opposition players at the end of Celtic's heavy defeat at Ibrox.

The Poland international refused several hands at the end of Saturday's clash in the SPL, which Rangers won 3-0.

He said: "I don't have to love anyone. I don't like this club, these players."

In an interview with Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza and website www.sport.pl, Boruc accused Rangers players of setting out to "provoke" and "offend" him before reverting to friendly terms at the final whistle.

"The season is continuing in Scotland, we are enemies and we are competing for the championship," said the 27-year-old.

Boruc will take his place in the Celtic side tomorrow evening for the Champions League match against Benfica, looking to put the weekend result behind him.

He said: "It will be hard to forget such a defeat. But we are already in Lisbon. It is my third visit to Lisbon and I have never won here."

Celtic were beaten 3-0 at the same stage of the competition last season, but Boruc stressed: "We want to win on Wednesday."
