Joe Hart insists Celtic Champions League blunder was down to Ange Postecoglou's style as he owns up to nightmare

Joe Hart insists his game-changing howler that saw Celtic slump to defeat in RB Leipzig was a consequence of the style Ange Postecoglou insists on playing and that he wouldn’t want to change it.

The former England No. 1 made an almighty cock-up against the Germans as the Hoops went down 3-1 in the Red Bull Arena to leave them rock bottom of Champions League Group F. Hart was in the firing line but held his hands up immediately after the match.

The 35-year-old inexplicably gifted possession to the opposition who punished him with Andre Silva scoring the first of his two goals. It came after Jota cancelled out Christopher Nkunku’s opener to give the Hoops real hope but Hart’s howler - just moments after RB Leipzig had their second goal of the night ruled out by VAR - changed the game with Silva adding a second to kill the game.
