A very famous Celtic star made his debut on this day in 1927

“I saw the red. Which was weird. I didn’t really know what to do,” Joe Hart

Joe Hart picked up the one and only red card of his career to-date the last time Celtic played at Livingston back in September and it was who else but John Beaton who sent him off. Hart misjudged a through ball on the plastic pitch and ended up taking out Livingston’s Mo Sangare.

While Beaton maybe could have given Hart the benefit of the doubt, he was never going to do that was he? Hart could have no complaints and anyway his teammates were excellent that day and ran out comfortable 3-0 winners, despite playing the majority of the game with ten men.

Yesterday, Joe Hart looked back on that afternoon which will always stand out in his memory at it was his one and hopefully only red card in a long and illustrious career which is now in its closing stages, with the hugely popular Celtic goalkeeper hanging up his gloves once and for all at the end of this season.

“I didn’t know how to play it,” Hart admitted, as reported by The Herald. “I just went and got a drink and sat in the TV room and watched it unfold. It wasn’t something I enjoyed but what can you do? Rules are rules.

“It was really strange. I have a smile on my face now thinking about it but at the time it wasn’t funny. I just didn’t know what to do. I’m used to playing football not sitting in the stand watching it,” Hart said, as reported by The Herald.
