Celtic TV Exclusive: Joe Hart on what Celtic means to him | OneFootball

Trophy Day at Celtic Park this Saturday doesn’t only bring down the curtain of the 2023/24 SPFL campaign, it also sees Joe Hart’s final game at Celtic Park as he gets set to hang up his gloves following next weekend’s Scottish Cup final.

Tomorrow he puts on his gloves for the 704th time in top-class first-team football – he can also add 75 English caps to that haul, meaning his appearance in the final will take him to 780 senior games in all.

It’s a career to be proud of and he goes out at the top with clutch of winner’s medals with Celtic. The Hoops’ No.1 sat down for an exclusive interview with Celtic TV on the eve of his final game at Celtic Park.

He said: “It will be forever in my heart this place, I absolutely love it.

“I’ve been welcomed - my young family, the way that they’ve been made to feel is really, really special. I’ll be forever grateful and forever a supporter.’

It may be his last game in Paradise, but he will certainly be back at Celtic Park in future with all his fellow Celtic supporters.

His message to the Celtic fans is: 'Just thank you, thank you.'

“I appreciate everything, I appreciate all the kind words. I appreciate the backing. I appreciate the support in terms of wanting us to be better all the time - that push, that drive, no-one accepting anything other than the best.'

“There's just a lot of love, a lot of love and appreciation and I hope this relationship doesn’t end.

“I want to continue it for as long as I possibly can.”
