Joe Hart lost some hairs and gained a few staples but his sense of humour shone through after Celtic’s 9-0 win over Dundee United.
Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada scored hat-tricks but in other circumstances it could have been an incident in the opening minutes that made the headlines.
Diving low to make a double save Hart felt the full force of Steven Fletcher as he lay grounded, pushing away the rebound to keep his goal intact.
The blood flowed as he lay on the ground, Sky Sports played a few replays and slow-motions of the incident as the collision and damage became clear.
Sitting up in his bloodied shirt and shorts, the keeper never flinched as the Celtic physio stapled his scalp together.
appreciate the messages of concern… I’ve lost a few more strands of hair which I can’t afford but other than that I’m all good. Let’s keep moving
The game was held up for six minutes with Hart’s team-mates making full use of that time to score the third and fourth goals in an SPL/SPFL record away win.
