Joe Hart had two outstanding saves in quick succession and Celtic Park roared them both as if a goal had been scored down the other end.
That was a year ago today. The home game against FK Jablonec where supporters realised the club’s goalkeeping nightmare was over and Ange Postecoglou had solved one of the team’s biggest problems. What has happened in the subsequent 12 months has merely strengthened that feeling.
Pound for pound, Hart has to be right up there with the likes of Jota in terms of being the best acquisition of the Aussie’s reign. The Portuguese got every headline last weekend after his performance against Ross County where his wizardry set up all three goals. Quite right, Jota was brilliant. But, in the background, Hart made a contribution every bit as vital which went, for the most part, under the radar. His save from a vicious County free-kick late in the game with the scores locked at 1-1 are pivotal in a season.
