Off the back of a memorable season with Celtic, recently retired Joe Hart is preparing for his punditry work at the upcoming European Championships in Germany.
The Englishman ended his playing career in the best way possible, riding off into the sunset after keeping a clean sheet in a Scottish Cup final win over Rangers which won his team a double.
Hart left Celtic a fan favourite having adorned himself to the supporters during his three impactful years at the club.
He developed a harmonious relationship with the Parkhead faithful while in Glasgow and left the champions a fan for life.
Due to this, Hart has admitted he will be cheering on some of his old teammates at the Euros this summer.
The 37-year-old admitted that while he isn’t bothered about how far Scotland goes in the tournament, he will be watching their games to monitor the progress of his friends from Celtic.
“I will be watching Scotland closely too, of course, because of my old team-mates from Celtic who are in their team”, he said (BBC).
“How Scotland do doesn’t bother me, but I want my pals to do well. I’ve got personal connections with players from lots of other teams at these Euros too, and it’s the same for all of them.
“Ultimately they are my friends and I want what is best for them, no matter what country they are from.”
