I'LL MISS THIS WITH ALL MY HART

Keeper Joe ready to feel strange but for now he's at home at Celtic

- MICHAEL GANNON

THERE'S been no second thoughts just yet but Joe Hart is well aware he's going to miss all this.

The Celtic keeper is relishing playing a part in the big finale to the season at Parkhead, with his side in the fight for the title and Scottish Cup.

But he's sticking to his plan to hang up the gloves at the end of the campaign and it's only made him even more determined to soak up every second.

Hart knows it's not going to be easy in a few weeks when he becomes a former player. But for now, the experienced keeper is still very much a Celtic player.

And a vital one at that. Celtic fans are currently considering their Player of the Year votes and their No.1 has shot into the frame with his displays, particularly since the turn of the year.

Hart's announcement a few weeks ago that he was quitting came when he was bang in form and it's continued since he went public.

It's got punters wondering why he's going ahead with the plan but the man himself is not for turning even if it will be tough to say goodbye.

Hart who turns 37 on Friday said: "It will be a big miss. But it's someone else's turn. I've been lucky to be part of this. I don't take it for granted. But it's someone else's turn.
