Celtic Hero Joe Hart Spotted in Bergamo

Former Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart has been spotted in Bergamo as the Hoops prepare to take on Atalanta in a crucial Champions League match. Hart, who spent three seasons between the sticks for Celtic, was seen around the Italian city on matchday posing for pictures with delighted Celtic fans.

While Celtic face a tough task against the reigning Europa League champions, Hart’s presence in Bergamo suggests he’s there to cheer on his former teaMMAtes. Given his punditry role on Match of the Day, it’s possible Hart could also be covering the match for the show.

The retires stopper is no stranger to Celtic’s struggles away in Europe, having been part of several disappointing nights under both Ange Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgers. Despite those tough experiences, Hart has remained a strong advocate for the club since retiring from professional Football earlier this year. He’s been back to Celtic Park as a guest of the club already and often speaks highly of the Glasgow giants whenever given the chance.

As the Bhoys prepare for one of their biggest European nights of the season, it seems they’ll have at least one familiar face in the stands. Whether that’ll be enough to spur them on to a positive result remains to be seen, but Hart’s loyalty to the club is undeniable.

Celtic fans will be hoping for a strong performance against Atalanta, knowing full well the challenges European nights away from home have posed for the team in recent years.

The Game kicks off at 17:45 UK time.
