Joe Hart details Ange Postecoglou Celtic conversation as Hoops keeper marvels over Aussie's 'awesome force'

Joe Hart has told how Ange Postecoglou's 'awesome force' was a key factor in bringing the veteran goalkeeper to Celtic Park for a stint - when his career could quite easily have ended.

Alongside Premier League greats such as Petr Cech and David de Gea, Hart was considered one of the English top-flight's best shot stoppers, winning the Premier League Golden Glove four years from five between 2010 and 2015. However, the introduction of Pep Guardiola as manager saw him flounder, with his distribution supposedly not good enough for the Spaniard's liking.

That saw him move to Burnley following unsuccessful loan spells at West Ham and Torino, before the emergence of Nick Pope pushing him further down the pecking order at Turf Moor. But having found a new home at Celtic despite being 34 when signing, Hart has blossomed in Glasgow - and he puts it all down to Ange giving him one final chance as a top-level keeper, proving everybody wrong in the process.
