The goalkeeper was at Ibrox to watch Steven Gerrard’s Rangers beat his former club 1-0.

Rangers fans cheer their team during the UEFA Europa League First Qualifying round 2nd Leg match between Rangers and St Joseph at Ibrox Stadium on July 18, 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Rangers fans are reacting on Twitter after an old foe of theirs appears to have got himself into trouble over an unauthorised visit to Ibrox.

Artur Boruc, the former goalkeeper for Rangers’ Glasgow rivals Celtic, was spotted in the away end as Steven Gerrard’s side beat Legia Warsaw 1-0 on Thursday.

Boruc, who now plays for Bournemouth, is a former Legia player. But that fact appears to matter not to the Cherries manager, Eddie Howe, who said of the Pole’s Rangers visit earlier, as quoted by Talksport: “I only knew about it very late last night, so it’s not really ideal.

“It’s something I’ll have to talk to Artur about today.

“I don’t know too much about the details of it, but I know that he was there and I’ll be discussing that with him today.”

And some Rangers supporters are revelling in Howe’s comments, which add to Boruc’s misery after Alfredo Morelos’s stoppage-time goal to down Legia.

This is what they’re saying on Twitter…

Boruc was expected to be named in Bournemouth’s squad to face Leicester City on Saturday afternoon, although he has yet to make a competitive appearance all season.

The 39-year-old has played against Rangers more times (19) than any club throughout his career, winning seven of those ties and losing eight.
