Joe Hart accused of 'feigning' Celtic injury as keeper sparks heated chat with John Beaton

Joe Hart has been the subject of debate on social media after he was accused of going down too easily against Motherwell. But it seemed John Beaton was having none of it as the two were spotted in a heated discussion afterwards.

Celtic battled to a 2-1 victory over the Fir Park side but had to do it the hard way after Kyogo 's opener was cancelled out by a calamitous OG from Josip Juranovic. Reo Hatate eventually gave them the victory but the game wasn't without its major talking points either. Celtic felt they were denied a clear penalty after going 2-1 up when Ricki Lamie appeared to handle Liel Abada's cross, while captain Callum McGregor was shown a late red card.

There was plenty of drama on the Parkhead pitch so one moment involving home keeper Hart largely went under the radar in all the post-match debate. It came early in the second half with Motherwell on the attack as Hart comes out to deal with a cross. He finds himself in no man's land, his attempt to clear the ball initially foiled by Sondre Solholm, before recovering and glancing up at the defender. He then recovers and moves towards him, and after his head brushes the Norwegian's ribcage, he takes a step back before collapsing in an unnatural direction.
