Joe Hart prepares for the future beyond Celtic as he secures new role

Joe Hart is already looking towards life beyond Celtic. 

Hart was pictured leading Celtic's dressing room celebrations after a 5-0 rout of Kilmarnock secured the Scottish Premiership title.

The 37-year-old only has two games left in green and white hoops before he ends a trophy-laden three-year stay at Parkhead - and he's set to hang up his goalie gloves for good this summer.

Celtic will officially lift the league crown when they host St Mirren on Saturday before Hart is given the opportunity to go out on a high with a Scottish Cup final triumph against Rangers next weekend.

After that, he will link up alongside Gary Lineker and Co in the BBC studio to cover the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament, which begins with Germany vs Scotland on June 14. 

Several of his Celtic teammates could be involved and Hart will be eager to show his ability as a pundit.

The ex-Manchester City favourite recently alluded to the fact that he hasn't attained his coaching badges and it's believed Premier League Productions could offer him a permament role on their weekly coverage of the English top-flight. 

Speaking at a fan event celebrating his career, the former England number one said: "I've not taken any coaching badges, that was quite a conscious decision.

"I know that coaching and management is ingrained in a lot of people. But for me, it doesn't necessarily do it for me. I want to help, I want to give back, but there's different ways that I can do it.

"I'll always be available to Celtic if they ever need to lean on me for anything, I've made the manager and the club aware of that. But coaching a specific team? That's not something that I'm looking to do."
