Joe Hart has moved seamlessly from football into punditry since hanging up his gloves at Celtic, and was on-hand as TNT Sports' co-commentator for last night's Champions League visit of RB Leipzig.
The former stopper has deserved all the plaudits he's received since the move, offering unique insights from the perspective of a modern goalkeeper and his reading of the game.
As you might expect, the 37-year-old's analysis of Brendan Rodgers' side was deeper than most during last night's 3-1 win at Parkhead given his familiarity with the team – and he even managed to take a tongue-in-cheek dig at Daizen Maeda.
When critiquing Celtic's second, the former player praised the aggressive press that saw them win back possession on the left flank, before Reo Hatate moved the ball onto Greg Taylor. The full-back fired the ball across goal, Maeda mis-cued an effort and Nicolas Kuhn fired the ball into the net.

"Nobody gave up, Hatate turned it over, brilliant ball from Taylor," said Hart. "Maeda can claim a dummy but we all know that was a shot.
"But it worked out perfectly and Nicolas Kuhn no denying what he meant with this one – he was hitting the back of the net, and he was hitting it hard."
