Joe Hart now knows that the Scottish Cup final will bring down the curtain on his glittering career. The big keeper is determined to make sure he bows out of Celtic with a silver-lined finish that includes lifting the Premiership and Scottish Cup.
Hart wants to make sure the next six games bring a double and he and Celtic end on a high. The final game will be the Scottish Cup final with Rangers at Hampden on May 25th.
Hart admitted: “It could be (a good way to bow out), hopefully. I’ve got a date now. I’ve got a date that I know is going to be the final game that I am available to be involved in.
Who knows what is going to happen in the next five weeks? Hopefully I’ll be fit and in form and picked to play. It’s all set up though.” The Hampden showcase promises to be an emotional day for Hart and his nearest and dearest as it will be at the game where he says his final playing farewell. “When you get to my age your circle gets a lot smaller,” Hart said. “I’ve got a lot of people who mean the absolute world to me and it is an important time for myself as a person and as a family member.
