Joe Hart was back behind the mic last night, providing his unique commentary for Celtic’s Champions League clash. The former Celtic goalkeeper had fans in stitches once again as he brought his candid insights and reactions to the game.
After impressing fans with his fresh, engaging style during TNT Sports’ broadcast of Celtic’s match against Atalanta last month, Joe Hart got the nod once again last night. The Englishman’s lively commentary proved to be a hit, adding excitement and personality to the Champions League showdown.
Once again, Joe Hart delivered sharp, insightful analysis, drawing on his recent experience as a teammate to most of Celtic’s squad. His knowledge of the players allowed him to offer perspectives that typical pundits simply can’t match.
But last night, when Celtic took the lead against RB Leipzig, Hart became the voice of every fan watching. Just before Nicolas Kuhn tucked in the go-ahead goal, Daizen Maeda had a hilarious fresh-air swing at the ball—cueing Hart’s perfectly-timed reaction that captured the thrill (and relief!) every Celtic supporter felt in that moment.
Hart’s reaction had Celtic fans laughing in agreement: “Maeda can claim [that was a dummy], but we all know it was a shot,” he joked on TNT Sports.
For the fans, though, it didn’t matter who found the net—only that Celtic seized the lead at just the right moment. As the Bhoys went into halftime 2-1 up, the Parkhead crowd erupted, showing full appreciation for the team’s grit and Hart’s pitch-perfect commentary.
In the second half, Celtic took full control, shutting down Leipzig’s attempts to equalize and sealing their dominance with a third goal from Reo Hatate.
Now sitting on seven points from their first four Champions League group matches, Celtic have positioned themselves brilliantly for advancement. The Bhoys are showing they’re a force to be reckoned with on the European stage this season!
