In the aftermath of a dramatic match against Livingston that saw Celtic secure a 3-0 victory, goalkeeper Joe Hart took to Instagram to express both his joy and remorse.
Despite being sent off with a straight red card for a challenge that many, including former Celtic manager Neil Lennon, deemed ‘reckless endangerment,’ Hart’s spirits remained high. His Instagram post read, “What a team performance @celticfc 💚🍀 apologies for my red card but team and support showed what they are about … top top mentality 🍀.”
The post serves as a testament to Hart’s professionalism and team spirit. While he acknowledged his mistake, he also took the opportunity to laud his teammates and the fans for their ‘top top mentality.’ It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply with the Celtic fanbase, known for its unwavering support and unity.
The match itself was a rollercoaster of emotions. Celtic took an early lead with a penalty from Reo Hatate, but the atmosphere became tense when Hart was shown the red card. Despite being a man down, Celtic rallied to score two more goals, sealing their 3-0 victory.
Hart, who was watching the game unfold from the tunnel after his dismissal, was captured by Sky Sports cameras celebrating each goal with unbridled enthusiasm.
