Joe Hart is certainly a hero in the eyes of the Celtic fans.
In his three years at Celtic, Hart helped deliver seven trophies out of nine which included a record-breaking eighth domestic treble.
And after retiring from football this summer, the veteran goalkeeper was given a Celtic Park heroes exit as the fans paid tribute to a player who helped restore Celtic’s dominance after just one trophyless season.
Hart dipped his toe into the punditry business after hanging up his gloves at Euro 2024 and now, the former Celtic man is set to embark on another venture in his post-football career.
Joe Hart to continue punditry role at the BBC
Joe Hart is now set to line up with Gary Lineker as a new pundit for the upcoming season on the BBC’s Match of the Day program.
And speaking about his new role, the former goalkeeper explains why he decided to stay in the punditry business after leaving Celtic in the summer.
Hart said [Manchester Evening News print edition page 40], “I’m stepping back having made great friends and many great memories.
“This decision has been coming for a while, maybe my birthday earlier this year fast-tracked it a little, but ultimately it’s time to do a few more different things with my Saturdays.
“I’m getting older, I just want to make sure I use the time well and efficiently for myself and at the moment, Match of the Day is the one that if something had to go, it had to be that.”
Hart certainly impressed with his balanced view whenever he spoke about Scotland during the Euros and it’s fair to say he speaks just as passionately about the game as he played it.
Although Hart won’t be commentating specifically on Celtic, his balanced views and opinions will certainly be popular amongst the viewers of the Premier League highlights show.
