Joe Hart has sent a five word Celtic message as he gets back down to hard work in pre-season.
The veteran Hoops No1 is in Portugal with his team-mates as they continue preparations for the domestic and European campaign ahead under new boss Brendan Rodgers following Ange Postecoglou's exit for a crack at the English Premier League with Tottenham. The Scottish champions are set to head to Japan but have upped the graft in the heat.
Hart - who is in the final year of his contract - has been an ever-present for the Parkhead men across the past two seasons since his initial arrival at the club. He's won five trophies from a possible six domestically with his experience of playing at the very top level both on the club and international scene proving vital. He will be hoping to tap into that once more as Celtic bid to make a splash in the Champions League this season.

But before the competitive football comes around in four and a half weeks time, Hart and Co are preparing on the training ground with the goalkeeper buzzing to be back at it.
Uploading a number of images of himself being put through is paces, he wrote: "Back in the flow in Portugal" with a number of emojis.
Speaking last week on the return to Lennoxtown about Rodgers, Hart said: "We've only been together a couple of days down. But look, he's an exceptional guy. I've had run ins with him in the past as an opponent, I actually bumped into him a few times on holiday. He's a lovely person, first and foremost, which is very important.
"He's very successful with a huge drive and he's laid it on the line. He actually stood here in front of us and let us know how proud he was about what we did last year, but that was last year, and we now have to build on it and try and improve and push each other.
"He's super positive, you can tell that he absolutely loves the club. If he was to take his managerial hat off, he's a Celtic fan but he's made it very clear that he's able to separate business and pleasure and we're here to work.
"We're here to be successful, push each other, try and get the best out of each other. He wants to push the young guys, he wants the older guys to help. They are very clear messages and I'm really excited to work under him."
