It’s not a secret that we are lacking quality in the goalkeeping position. Joe Hart has been superb for the club and still has the talent to compete at the top level, but he’s starting to look a bit shaky recently. I don’t know if that’s to do with the recent criticism or not, but it’s plainly evident to see. It’s a bit worrying with a long campaign ahead.
We’ve been giving Joe the benefit of the doubt for a while now, but his performances seem to be wilting a bit as time goes by.

Yesterday proved that on more than a few occasions. He nearly cost us dearly with a moment of bad judgement when he nearly cost us a spot kick. Why he didn’t head the ball is anyone’s guess. His decision to try and control the ball with his feet was baffling, he’s lucky it didn’t cost us in the end.
At the first Ross County goal he didn’t look to comfortable either. It was a bad day for Joe, and sadly that’s something that seems to be happening regularly these days.
Joe has been a brilliant keeper for Celtic, his saves have contributed massively to our success the past couple of seasons, and his efforts have been appreciated.

I just think it’s time we brought in another goalkeeper. One that is quality. Not a bench warmer like Ben Siegrest or Scott Bain. We need someone who can take over the number one position or at the very least push Joe with serious competition.
I have a feeling Brendan Rodgers is looking for a new goalkeeper. It’s a position that needs freshened up that’s for sure.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
