Chris Sutton reacts to surprise Celtic announcement

Chris Sutton was quick to react to Joe Hart announcing his retirement from

goalkeeping- fortunately it will be at the end of this season and not immediately!

With two seasons of surprising success at Celtic under his belt, and hopefully

more trophies and recognition to come before the season ends, the former

England goalie has been a major influence in both of those seasons.

Hart has made the decision that this will be his last season after 138 Celtic

appearances. When July arrives, he won’t be putting his body through

another taxing campaign during the preseason.

At the end of this campaign, which should culminate at Hampden in the

Scottish Cup final, Hart, who turns 37 in April, will have given up.

Following the 2021 season’s disasters, in which Vasilis Barkas, Scott Bain, and

Conor Hazard swapped goalkeeping responsibilities without conviction, Ange

Postecoglou resorted to Hart after Barkas and Bain had demonstrated a

glaring problem with defense in his three first-round matches.

Hart, who started as Spurs’ third choice, gave power and leadership to a Celtic

team that had lost three of its first seven SPFL games but went on to win both the SPFL title and the League Cup.

Hart completed a perfect sweep of titles the previous season, matching his medal

haul from Manchester City with a domestic treble.

There won’t be any more guessing as to Hart’s plans going forward; instead,

Celtic’s recruitment team will be the focus of the game, and Bain or Ben

Siegrist are unlikely candidates to replace Hart.
