Celtic ‘keeper Joe Hart teased by fans for tumbling to floor after ‘brutal knockout’ in win over Motherwell
CELTIC keeper Joe Hart has been ribbed by rival fans after collapsing to the ground in the Hoops' win over Motherwell.
The Parkhead no.1 tumbled to the ground after a collision with Motherwell defender Sondre Solholm Johansen.
Hart came flying out to the edge of his area to try and claim possession with the ball in the air, but he couldn't grasp it and the ball broke away from him towards Kevin van Veen.
The former England stopper quickly got himself back on his feet and began to jog backwards as van Veen blazed over.
On his retreat, he bumped into Well defender Solholm before collapsing to the floor.
Van Veen blazed the ball over the bar and the Hoops medical team raced on to the pitch.
There certainly didn't appear to be much in it, and fans were quick to poke fun at the Celtic 'keeper on social media.
One fan said: "He flapped at the cross was out of position and moved into the geezers armpit, saw he was struggling and couldn’t make a save so went down and feigned an injury."
Another ripped into the Hoops 'keeper, saying: "Joe Hart brutally knocked out in today's Celtic v Motherwell clash. Not for the faint hearted."
A third fan quipped: "Anyone know how long Joe Hart is out for?"
