Rumour is a big joke to Boruc
CELTIC ACE ARTUR BORUC LAUGHS OFF INTERNET SMEAR CAMPAIGN
CELTIC ace Artur Boruc last night LAUGHED off an internet smear campaign, declaring: "This is just typical of Glasgow."
The Polish star - who WILL play in today's Old Firm match - had been left bemused by a week of unfounded speculation about his private life.
Rumours circulated via texts and fans' websites that the Hoops hero had failed a drugs test.
But today we can reveal that the allegations are COMPLETELY untrue - and the Holy Goalie is ready to face Rangers at Celtic Park this afternoon.
A senior Parkhead executive told the News of the World: "Artur knows all about the rumours.
"He's laughed them off, saying it was 'just typical of Glasgow'.
"He doesn't take a blind bit of notice about what other folk say about him."
And last night a club spokesman said: "There's absolutely no foundation to these rumours. They are absolute RUBBISH.
"Artur is completely focused and ready to play."
Football fan sites were buzzing all this week with the false claims.
The frenzy culminated in speculation that Boruc, 29, was to be DROPPED for today's big game.
Last night one message board user said: "I've never seen anything like it - these rumours just spread like wildfire."
Boruc IS facing a heavy club fine for PUNCHING his own Hoops team-mate Aiden McGeady, 22, earlier this month.
And off the pitch, he's split from wife Kasia, 28, and is dating sexy Polish model Sara Mannei, 24.
The former contestant on the Polish version of Pop Idol is the ex-lover of notorious Polish gangster Rafal Majewski.
When contacted yesterday at his new home in Bearsden, near Glasgow, Boruc - who signed from Legia Warsaw in 2005 - refused to comment.

Fail to see why Boruc is "a disgrace to scottish football" - smear campaigns go one way or another and i'm thinking with Boruc's mentality (stable or otherwise) that the holy goalie will be having the last laugh here. As for Boruc scoring a penalty, it would be so much sweeter if it's 0-0 and 90mins on clock. I was worried before about how Celtic would perform today, now i'm so up for it - 4 in a row here we go

well well well....to quote farry..there seems to be some "macavellian skullduggery" going on here..if this is what rangers fans are stooping too now to try and get the edge before an old firm game then they've fallen further than i thought..the big man will laugh it off..still the holy goalie...still no1...2-0 celtic..normal service WILL be resumed.......hail hail.

Lets be honest, quite a lot of Celtic fans were believing all the rumours aswell!

Rangers so called fans cannot even win an internet joke contest. Boruc will have the last laugh today.

he is a disgrace to scottish football, and will get caught out one day, celtic should get rid of this fool, who will only bring trouble to the club.

Sweep sweep
Hahaha only Rangers fans have been clutching at straws all week praying that that this story was true!
Not long now to go !
Hope he has a blinder, Celtic 2-0 up we get a dodgy penalty Big Boruc goes up the field bang in the back of the net !

Thank Goodness for that. Too often have Celtic and Celtic players fallen victim to internet hate campaigns.
Thankfully, we seem to do our talking on the pitch as demonstrated by our three league titles in a row.
Keep the good times coming Artur!
