The Celtic keeper will carry the hopes of his nation against tournament favourites Germany, Croatia and co-hosts Austria in Group B.

Poland got their preparations for Euro 2008 off to a drab start with a 1-1 friendly draw with Macedonia, one of Scotland's World Cup qualifying opponents, on Monday night.

Sitting pretty: Artur Boruc, pictured after conceding against Germany during the 2006 World Cup, believes the Poles are ready to face anyone in Euro 2008

Boruc was rested in that game, with Manchester United keeper Tomasz Kusczak starting in goal.

But the 28-year-old Celtic star is Poland's first choice for the finals and, despite facing a tough challenge to reach the knockout stages, he is confident his country can do it.

Boruc said: "People talk about how fantastic it is to be there and I suppose that's true.

"But it will only be really special for us if we progress. We will come up against some very good teams, but we have lots of excellent players and I'm sure we will do well.

"Our mentality is strong and we know we can play football. In Leo Beenhakker, we have one of the top coaches in the game and I'm sure we'll do well."
