CELTIC goalkeeper Artur Boruc has denied that he is set to quit Parkhead at the end of the season for a move to the Premiership and has revealed that this week's quotes suggesting as such came from a man who no longer acts as his agent.

Radoslaw Osuch had claimed that Boruc was in line for a move to Arsenal's Emirates Stadium - speculation that has continually surrounded the Pole since it emerged Arsene Wenger had him watched.

But the player has claimed that he is currently representing himself and that there have been no offers on the table for him.

Boruc signed a three-and-a-half year contract extension with Celtic last October as the Parkhead side sought to protect a player who immediately settled into Glasgow and the stopper has said that he is currently happy to fulfil his contractual obligation to the club.

He has admitted that he would one day like to play in the Premiership, but was irritated at the stories he is set to leave Celtic in the summer.

"I've got a contract here and I'm not going anywhere," he said. "It's just speculation and the guy who said those things hasn't represented me for the last five months.

"You will have to ask someone at Arsenal if there is any truth in the stories, but I certainly haven't heard from anyone.

"I don't even have an agent just now. The Premiership is a good place to play football and who knows what will happen in the future, but I don't want to change clubs just now."

THE keeper, who was linked today with Barcelona, is keen to move away from the talk surrounding his recent outstanding form. He still believes he has to improve.

His performance against Manchester United was followed by an excellent last- gasp save from Russell Anderson in a game against Aberdeen at Parkhead and Boruc was Celtic's best player on display at Ibrox last weekend.

However, while the penalty save against United will be remembered by Hoops supporters for years to come in the same way that Packie Bonner's stop from Daniel Timofte of Romania in the 1990 World Cup is still regarded as one of his finest moments, the player himself wants to look forward rather than back.

With a place in the Champions League last eight up for grabs when Celtic meet AC Milan in February and March, Boruc knows he is still on the stage where everyone wants to play and where he can continue to impress.

"I don't want to compare the Manchester United game with any others that I have played in my career because it wasn't like any of them, but I am now looking forward to even bigger matches," Boruc told Celtic TV.

"That was a great night but what can I say? It's in the past now and we have to look ahead.

"I wasn't happy straight after I saved the penalty from Saha because I knew there was still time left, but it was a good night for the club. I am happy with my performances, but I know that I can still do better.

"We lost a goal on Sunday and it is always best when you keep a clean sheet and win the game and as a goalkeeper that is what you always strive for."

The goal that Boruc lost was particularly frustrating for the keeper as he had performed heroics in Celtic's goal to keep Rangers at bay.

Brahim Hemdani's drive took the slightest of deflections from Thomas Gravesen to earn Rangers a deserved share of the points.

But while Boruc was annoyed to concede in the dying minutes of the game he has quickly learned to relish the tussles against the Ibrox side.

"The atmosphere created by the Celtic supporters at those Old Firm games is brilliant," he said. "It is one of those games when you don't have to be more focused than usual because it comes with a click of the finger and I really like playing in those games.

It was still a good result for us because Rangers dropped points. But it is always bad when you lose a goal in the last few minutes - it makes it harder to accept."

Boruc might feel a little lost this Christmas amid the grey weather of Glasgow after being reared on the white variety, but he will have some home comforts this year.

It has been well documented that it has been a difficult time for the player's family and they will be with the 26-year-old throughout a busy festive period for Celtic.

"It doesn't feel much like Christmas here," smiled Boruc. "You can't really compare it with Christmas in Poland because we always have a lot of snow over there and you can feel the Christmas atmosphere.

"We have some traditions that people would probably think are weird over here, but I really love it. My family are coming here to Glasgow and we will do everything that we would normally do in Poland."
