ARTUR BORUC last night urged Scotland to stick with Gordon Strachan, even if the nation's Euro 2016 dreams come to an end tomorrow.

The Poles travel to Hampden brimming with confidence and know that three points will be enough to send them to France and finish Scotland's European Championship hopes.

The veteran former Celtic goalkeeper Boruc worked under Strachan during his five controversy-filled years in Glasgow.

Strachan's future as Scotland manager is under a cloud, with contract talks on hold until Scotland's Euro 2016 fate is decided.

Although the Scottish Football Association remains keen for Strachan to stay, the man himself hasn't made up his mind on what he will do for the World Cup 2018 campaign.

But the 35-year-old Bournemouth keeper, speaking at the Polish training base in Warsaw, reckons Scotland must pull out the stops to persuade Strachan to stay.

He said: "Gordon Strachan is a very good manager. He's in a difficult situation with the national team at the moment because of their position in the group.

"Being a national team manager is a hard job and I think he might not like the fact he doesn't get to see his players too often, unlike at Celtic where he watched the guys in training every day.

"Scotland have some great, great players though. They are an improving team and I think he should get another campaign. He's doing a great job."

Boruc will make an emotional return to Glasgow tomorrow night and admits he can't wait to get back to Hampden.

The old stadium holds a special place in his heart; he became the first Celtic goalkeeper in history to score a goal when he netted in a dramatic League Cup semi-final penalty shoot-out win against Dundee United in 2009.

However, he doesn't rate the stadium as highly as Parkhead.

He said: "Most of my memories are connected to Celtic Park, but I know Hampden Park well too because I played in a few semi-finals and finals there. I have good memories.

"Scoring in that penalty shoot-out was special too! But to be honest, it's not as good a stadium as Celtic Park because the stands are further away from the pitch. But it's going to be an amazing atmosphere on Thursday."
