Former Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart reckons that the Celtic players will dig deep to hold on to their Scottish Premiership title in the closing stages of a four team battle for the trophy that for 13 of the past 14 years has always ended up at Celtic Park…
Speaking to BBC Sports, Hart who had three memorable scenes at Celtic and was given the most spectacular send-off that any player would dream about, know all about the hunger for success in the Celtic dressing room and knows that its packed with course and distance winners, something that’s lacking in Celtic’s challengers; Hearts, Motherwell and the Rangers.
These days Super Joe Hart simply bleeds Celtic
Before attention turns back to the league, Celtic are back at Ibrox tomorrow for the second Sunday in a row, this time for the Scottish Cup quarter final. Joe Hart of course lifted the Scottish Cup on May 2024 at Hampden after victory over the Rangers, to bring the curtain down on his career.
These days Joe Hart simply bleeds Celtic, so will have the butterflies in his stomach just like the rest of us as we get ready for what hopefully turns out to be a long overdue Beautiful Sunday.
“If it’s anything like what went on, on Sunday just gone, then it’s going to be an absolute barnstormer again,”Hart told BBC Scotland. “I’m excited. “The first half scared me – it did – and then the second half made me feel a lot better about my allegiances.
“I care about what goes on on the field. I saw the fight on Sunday, and they managed to get that draw away at Ibrox.”
Super Joe Hart was asked what has gone wrong at Celtic this season, saying that in his view the Celtic players are ‘in the trenches’ but he believed that they will give their all to retain the title.
“Last season, incredible,” Joe Hart said. “I just felt like everything was right, you know? I did not see this season coming.
“At the moment, they’re very much in the trenches but, you know, speaking to the players, and knowing some of the staff, and knowing the fans like I do, they’re going to dig deep.”
‘At the moment they’re in the trenches but it’s still all to play for’ 👊
