And now Polish outlet Sportowefakty reckon he will be afforded the chance to play a half for both teams, even if that has yet to be confirmed.

The Hoops have added Benji Siegrist to their goalkeeping corps behind No 1 Joe Hart this summer.

Ange Postecoglou will be keen that both men get game time during pre-season - but the thought of the 'holy goalie' returning to the Celtic line-up will be a hugely popular one for Hoops fans.

The 42-year-old said he plans to retire in California after the match - and wants to take a long break from football now.

He said: "I will play the last game in my career in the colours of Legia against Celtic, whom I also support and are a club very close to me, where I spent great years.

"The match is a very nice initiative on the part of Legia, a really good ending to my adventure. I am very happy with this match.

"Unfortunately, my advancing years and health doesn't allow me to represent the colours of Legia Warsaw at an appropriate level. So I decided to stop.

"My health will not allow me to continue.

"I feel more and more ailments and it this season was probably one of the first moments when I got scared of what might happen in my life in the future.

"I started to pay a little less attention to football and a little more to health.

"Ultimately, I think that I will not live in Poland, my wife and I think about the United States - perhaps sunny California, to have warm and beautiful weather for 300 days a year."
