    I absolutely adored Artur Boruc, still do, but for me, Forster has shown consistently that he is a better goalkeeper all round in my opinion. What does everyone else think?

    Forster is better, but Boruc was more fun.

    I used to love Boruc and would have had him back last season in a heartbeat.

    Forster has grown on me BIG TIME - an outstandingly reliable goalkeeper.

    Agreed with previous posts. Loved Boruc but I voted Forster. Just have to look at his clean sheet records to see how consistent he can be.

    Boruc was performant at the beginning of his first season with the club, while Forster was good after a first season where Zaluska was the number one...

    In my opinion, Boruc is a legend for Celtic but, he is behind Pat Bonner !

    Forster has proven that he can do everything Boruc can, and possibly even more.

    Could Artur have pulled off those performances that FF did against Barcelona, home and away? I loved Boruc, but I think Forster has the edge. He's still young too, especially for a keeper.

    Not even close for me. Forster by a country mile.

    Very close call, but Forster just edges it for me

    Voted Boruc, at his best he was almost miraculous. Forster is more consistent, though. If he stays another few years, Forster will be the greatest. Bonner I remember as a really good keeper, but not as brilliant. But I only remember the tail end of his career (92 onwards), when he was in a rubbish team.

    I would say Boruc in his prime but I fully expect that to change in a few years. Think Forster has a lot more potential.
