Joe Hart is with the Celtic squad in the Czech Republic and in line for a Thursday night debut against Jablonec.
Celtic flew out from Glasgow Airport ahead of any announcement about the former England keeper. Hart managed to evade the cameras at the Airport as Ange Postecoglou’s side flew out for the Europa League qualifier.
At 6.40pm tonight Celtic released footage of Hart with his new team-mates with the promise of an interview coming soon.

After the double signing had been announced the Daily Mail reported:
Celtic want the experienced Hart to travel for their Europa League tie against FC Jablonec in the Czech Republic on Thursday. Meanwhile, McCarthy will not travel with Celtic to the Czech Republic but will train on his own until his team-mates team comes back from their European trip.
Hart has been in pre-season training with Spurs so shouldn’t be too far away from match fitness with Postecoglou having to decide whether to pitch him in for a debut on Thursday.
Carl Starfelt played against Hearts after one training session with his new team-mates while Kjogo Furuhashi came on as a substitute after just meeting his team-mates on the day of the match.
As a free agent McCarthy is likely to be short of fitness with the Celtic medics to decide when he is ready to make his debut.
