Joe Hart, the 36-year-old goalkeeper, has announced his retirement from football at the end of the season. Despite still having a few years left in his career, Hart believes it is the right time to step down and give someone else the opportunity to become Celtic's first-choice goalkeeper.

When you’ve been in that cycle for 20 years, it’s little wonder a sizeable percentage of footballers struggle when it’s all over.

With the league and cup double the ambition for Celtic in the closing six weeks of the campaign, Hart knows he will let every single second on the pitch sink in until that final whistle goes. “I will soak it up – but I’ve always soaked up every moment. Even when I was say on the bench at Burnley and West Ham. Those are moments in your life. The most important moments are now – and I have a job to do.

Hart wants to win the double – as do all of the Celtic players – so, any notion that the challenge of Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup semi-finals next week will be a refreshing change is wide of the mark. Hart added: “We are going hard as we can in every single moment. This was our everything today. It was tough out there. I would just do anything for a still day to be able to play a bit of football.
