After what he did in the St Johnstone victory, Joe Hart is predicted to send a strong message to his Celtic teammates.

Following their victory over St Johnstone this afternoon, Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic team reclaimed the top spot in the Scottish Premiership.

And because today’s Rangers match against Dundee was postponed, they will stay there for the duration of the international break.
What will excite the Hoops fan base today, though, is how Celtic won. Some really good performances were given by people like Tomoki Iwata and Nicolas Kuhn.

Following his goal the previous weekend, Kyogo Furuhashi also looked back to his best. The Japanese striker looked extremely dangerous and had two goals disallowed by the woodwork.

Peter Grant, though, was led to believe that the veteran custodian would have had a heated conversation with his Celtic teammates in the dressing room at full time because of what the furious Joe Hart did at St Johnstone’s goal.

Hart was furious with his backline for failing to clear two St Johnstone crosses, and he didn’t hold back in telling his teammates as much. Grant added that the goalie was right to respond as he did.

“He was quite right because we should stop the cross,” Grant stated to Celtic TV. I believe that the cross was too readily accepted. However, giving in and feeling the need to resist giving in is a little slack.

“Because it’s so close right now, that [goal difference] could decide the outcome.”Joe’s frustration is evident, and his experience confirms this. These could be significant times.

And to play so well and give up when their play didn’t really warrant it—those are the kinds of situations you just can’t give up on.

It is highly unusual for Joe to not have to make a save during a game, as far as I can recall.

But his attitude has been excellent. We can only hope that he will be disappointed when he enters the dressing room and tells the guys, “Listen, we gave up a silly goal.”And for good reason—these guys play at the top for a very long time.
Hart’s response is the reason Celtics supporters adore him. He is a natural winner, and his standards held steady even when Celtic was winning.

The chance to record three straight clean sheets would have been on his mind, so the Hoops stopper was really irritated by his cheap surrender of that opportunity.

If only I could have been a fly on the wall at full time, I would have loved to hear what Hart had to say to his supporters.
