Joe Hart will be 37 when his current Celtic contract runs out which, in this day and age, is still relatively young for a keeper.
Since being snared by Parkhead gaffer Ange Postecoglou, the former England stopper has reignited his career. But he has also reinvented himself in Glasgow. Discarded by Manchester City in 2018, there was consensus that Hart wasn’t good enough to play out from the back in Pep Guardiola’s preferred style.
But if you’ve watched Celtic recently, you’ll know that he’s now pivotal to how Postecoglou wants the game to be played. Hart has been more like a sweeper in the first few games of the new campaign. At times he almost lines up in a back three beside two centre-backs when the Hoops are on the attack. His manager is delighted with Hart’s contribution. Postecoglou doesn’t expect him to pass the ball as well as Callum McGregor or Jota.
