As Celtic enjoyed winning the title at Tynecastle yesterday afternoon, Joe Hart had a double reason to celebrate.
His latest appearance for the club was his 100th in total and what a way to celebrate it. With another league title in the bag and the chance to win a treble, judging by his post-match interview on BBC Sportsound, Hart is clearly loving life at Celtic.
Hart, paying tribute to the Celtic fans, said, “They’re amazing. They’ve been everywhere. They go everywhere with us. I think it’s even sweeter to come to a stadium where they’ve tried to have as few in as physically possible. But they can’t be stopped.
“They help us to push on and you know today wasn’t easy. We had to endure a few tough moments in the first half but not that we didn’t think we could handle it. And we handled it.
“We’re in a good moment. We’re playing well. We find ways to win. We’ve not been perfect in all of those games. But today is about living in the moment, tomorrow is about looking forward to what’s next.
“It never stops here, does it? What a way to live life.”
And when asked about how much he is looking forward to Champions League football next season, Hart continued, “That feels like lightyears away. I’m going to enjoy today. Get up tomorrow with a fresh plan to go again. Loads of things in front of us. Trying to get better as people and as footballers, and we’ll keep pushing.”
The former England goalkeeper is on the brink of creating history as only the second Celtic player behind Kenny Dalglish to win a domestic treble in England and Scotland. But nothing can be taken for granted.
Hart and Celtic know that to win the treble they will have to overcome Inverness Caley Thistle who have been a bit of a bogey team for us in this competition.
But for now, all eyes will be on next Saturday where Ange will lead his team to Ibrox as the Scottish champions in the final Glasgow Derby of the season.
