A Celtic Legends team will face Borussia Dortmund at Celtic Park this Sunday, which will be an audition for a number of the players in front of former midfielder Paul Lambert, who manages the side. Players like Artur Boruc, Scott Brown, Stephen McManus and Jan Venegoor of Hesselink will play this weekend and also played for the Hoops at Old Trafford in the Champions League.
