Joe Hart’s brilliant message to journalist in response to Celtic retirement take

Joe Hart has six Games left of his career as he prepares to retire from the Game and leave Celtic at the end of the season.

With ten winners medals to his name, Hart has won two English Premier Leagues, two English League Cups, and FA Cup, two Scottish titles, one Scottish Cup and two Scottish League Cups as well.

And with this season being his final swansong, going for another title and Scottish Cup could bring down a glorious end to a career that has spanned over 20 years.

Joe Hart rejects ‘fairytale’ Celtic claim

Daily Record journalist, Michael Gannon, has shared a private conversation with Hart in which he revealed that the Celtic goalkeeper rejected the idea that this season is set up to be a fairytale ending to his career.

Gannon said [Record Celtic podcast], “Joe Hart is a funny character. I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago for a piece and I put it to him that this is all set up for a fairytale ending for him.

“He basically said, ‘I don’t believe in fairytales. You need to work to earn everything that comes your way.’

“He’s not banking on the fates intervening and creating a scenario that he is going to go out on a high. He’s going to go and do it.

“And the guy has had a few bumps in his career as well. He’s not had it all plain sailing. And he knows that Football can bite you in the backside at any given minute.”

That reply just epitomises Hart’s attitude. The 37-year-old has always been keen to note that hard work for his team has always been his priority ever since joining Celtic.

It’s not about any one man. This will stand Celtic in good stead as Hart has shown that he is not focused on trying to find the glory for himself, but his focus is 100% on the team as we look to tie up a league and cup double.
