Ange Postecoglou has still to decide whether Joe Hart is given his Celtic debut against Jablonec.

The former England keeper signed a three year contract yesterday and immediately flew out to the Czech Republic to be with his new team-mates.

Postecoglou started the season with Vasilis Barkas in goals, switched to Scott Bain for the last two fixtures but now must decide whether to start Hart in a European tie.

The 34-year-old had been in pre-season mode with Spurs and has yet to play in any match this season.

Against Hearts on Saturday Carl Starfelt and Kyogo Furuhashi were pitched in for their Celtic debuts after minimal time with their new team-mates.

Whether Postecoglou would do the same with a goalkeeper remains to be seen although Hart will have spent 48 hours with Celtic before tomorrow’s 4.45pm kick-off.

If he fails to start against Jablonec, Hart is likely to make his debut in Sunday’s SPFL match at home to Dundee.
