Joe Hart insists he has always looked over the horizon rather than study the ancient history of past failures in his career. And the Celtic No.1 revealed there are daily reminders from boss Ange Postecoglou that all eyes must be kept firmly on the challenges ahead.
St Mirren will arrive at Parkhead on Wednesday for the clubs’ first meeting since Saints brought a 38-game unbeaten Hoops run to a shuddering halt with a 2-0 win in Paisley in September. Celtic’s navel-gazers will also point to the collapse of their 10-in-a-row bid two seasons ago under Neil Lennon as a catastrophic event – but Hart revealed Postecoglou wants the pages to keep turning and won’t take no for an answer.
He said: “There was that little sting the year before I came here. The attitude is to analyse things and move forward, not back. If we spend time looking at things, even good things, you can get lost down a wormhole of things that happened in the past.
