He might be prone to one wobble a game but there is little doubt that Joe Hart is contributing to Celtic’s points tally.
The former England keeper had his crossbar rattled early on against Motherwell but a combination of bravery and ability kept Celtic in front with a brilliant double save with the match goal-less.
A 15 yard shot from Sean Goss took a touch off Cameron Carter-Vickers right in front of Hart but the Celtic keeper was on it to block. Goss followed his shot through as did Tony Watt but without a moments thought for his own safety Hart was up forming a barrier to beat away the rebound.

As well as being a big character Hart also carries off big moments. Incidents like this have an impact on team-mates, defenders don’t want to be calling on their keeper too often while forwards appreciate the work going on behind them.
David Turnbull and Tom Rogic showed their gratitude by scoring the only goal of the game, fortunately Hart had a quieter time of it after the break.
