Joe Hart reckons Josip Juranovic has "earned the right to dream" of coming home to Celtic Park with the World Cup trophy in tow.
Juranovic has been one of Croatia's star men in their run to the last four and his performance against Brazil in particular is likely to have added a zero or two onto the end of his Celtic transfer value. Before his attentions turn to the possibility of a January move, though, Juranovic is focused on going the distance in Qatar as they take on Argentina on Tuesday night - hoping to set up a showpiece final with either France or Morocco on Sunday.
Argentina, led out by Lionel Messi, go into the semi-final clash as heavy favourites. But Hart reckons his Parkhead teammate has every right to dream of returning to his club as a world champion, a dream that is now within just two games of becoming a reality.
Hart told Sky Sports: "He's a great teammate, superb player, loves his country. I'm really pleased for him. He's certainly earned the right to dream but they've got a tough task tonight and we'll see what happens.
"It would be quite something (to welcome a World Cup winner back into the dressing room), but he's way beyond the dream phase. He's living it, he's in a real moment, and I'm sure he's focused."
