Joe Hart insists it was a great showing from Celtic as the goalkeeper made a top save against Hearts at Tynecastle.
But that wasn't the only key incident involving the experienced stopper as Hart was spotted by Viaplay TV cameras handing an object to referee Kevin Clancy that had been thrown in the vicinity of his goal area. The match official then seemed to hand the item to fourth official David Munro but it was unclear what the object was.
The incident occurred on the half hour mark as Celtic were 2-0 up in the capital, before Cameron Carter-Vickers bulleted a header past Zander Clark to seal a Scottish Cup semi-final place for Ange Postecoglou's men. Hart was on hand to make a big double stop from Toby Sibbick at 1-0 and issued a simple two word response to the game.

He shared Celtic's official Instagram post that read 'That double save from Joe Hart - top class' as the keeper responded: "Awesome day."
The missile incident may be included in the referee's match report so more details might follow. Hart was also involved in an incident at Ibrox last season when a smashed glass bottle had to be removed from his goal line area.
