SHAY GIVEN today admitted he is a big fan of Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc.

The Newcastle United and Republic of Ireland shot-stopper reckons Celtic have got their hands on a top-class keeper in the Polish international.

He said: "Artur is a fantastic goalkeeper. I haven't managed to see much of him this season, however I watched him at the European Championships and he was Poland's best player. He has a big presence and can make really good instinctive stops at crucial times.

"I know his performances in the Champions League have been impressive and I think he will prove his quality again at that stage next week against Manchester United."
