There are worse places to be in the world in November than stalling around in the Sydney sunshine and stopping for the occasional selfies with Celtic supporters.
But there’s a part of Joe Hart that would rather be elsewhere this week. Like Qatar. The Celtic no.1 is relishing the Australia experience with the Parkhead club but there’s nothing that can compare with competing on the biggest stage in the game.
Hart was part of the England squad for South Africa in 2010 and he played in Brazil four years later on his way to 75 caps for the Three Lions. And while he is loving life with the Hoops, the keeper admits to feeling a tad green-eyed at what lies ahead for Gareth Southgate’s side in the coming weeks. Hart said: “It’s the ultimate. Do you wish you were part of it? Of course you do. That feeling will never die once you’ve had a taste for it and you know what it’s like.
