Brendan Rodgers posed Celtic transfer question over Joe Hart as Man City reminder sparks boss dilemma

Brendan Rodgers may place a much 'greater demand' on Joe Hart to use the ball at his feet, even more so than previous boss Ange Postecoglou did.

It was a key trait of the former England number one's game that saw Pep Guardiola take the callous call to axe him from his cushy spot as Manchester City's shotstopper. The Spaniard didn't believe the now 36-year-old could be the sweeper keeper he wanted him to be, but Postecoglou took the chance and Hart rewarded the Aussie's decision with a plethora of clean sheets across a long campaign last season that led to a Celtic Treble.

Legendary Hoops keeper Packie Bonner, however, has questioned what the future may hold for the dressing room leader, who he believes has done exceptionally well to revive his career in Glasgow after some tough spells at Torino and Postecoglou's new club, Spurs. The BBC pundit reckons Rodgers will ask more of his goalie and questioned whether Hart can get up 'to the level' the Irishman is looking for.
