Champions League: Joe Hart's terrible mistake for Celtic vs RB Leipzig

Joe Hart didn’t exactly cover himself in glory during Celtic’s trip to RB Leipzig on Wednesday.

Reinvigorated since moving to Glasgow on the back of a few years in the footballing wilderness, the former England number one has, on the whole, thrived in the green and white hoops.

However, just days after facing accusations of faking an injury at Celtic Park, Hart made a critical error that cost the Scottish club dearly in their latest Champions League clash.

The trip to Germany to face one of the Bundesliga’s strongest clubs was always going to be a tough one for Scotland’s reigning champions, but they did indeed enter the final 30 minutes of the game at 1-1.

While the potentially Chelsea-bound Christopher Nkunku might have opened the scoring in the first-half, Jota levelled the scores just after the break to offer a glimmer of hope for Celtic.

But that looked to have been extinguished as the game entered its final half-hour courtesy of the fantastic Dominik Szoboszlai regaining Leipzig’s lead with a sweet strike from the edge of the box.

Or so we thought, because the goal was actually ruled out in a reprieve for Celtic that could have seen them kick on and make an impact in the game once again.

Sadly, though, that couldn’t have proven further from the case as mere seconds after VAR had ruled out Szoboszlai’s strike, Hart played the ball straight back to the Hungarian baller and allowed him to set up Andre Silva to score.

Talk about a nightmare. Check out the carnage down below:

Oh dear, Joe Hart…
