Robinson hails ‘brilliant’ Hart as new details of Celtic transfer emerge

Paul Robinson has heaped praise on Joe Hart after it was revealed the goalkeeper took a pay cut to join Celtic.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Spurs and Leeds United goalkeeper said he understands โ€œevery reasonโ€ why the 34-year-old has moved to Parkhead having dreamed of playing for the Hoops himself.

Celtic confirmed the signings of Joe Hart and James McCarthy on Wednesday.

Hart joins from Tottenham on a three-year deal and Fabrizio Romano reported on August 2nd he will earn ยฃ15,000-a-week in Glasgow.

It comes after Football Insider revealed July 31st that the former England international was willing to take a pay cut to move to Celtic Park.

Robinson claimed Hart can get his career back on track in the Scottish Premiership.

โ€œJoe has had a brilliant career and he is a very wealthy man because of it,โ€ he told Football Insiderโ€˜s Dylan Childs.

โ€œHowever, his career has stalled over the last few years. This is a real opportunity to go and play week in, week out for one of the biggest clubs in the world. He can go there and challenge for trophies.

โ€œIt was a dream of mine to go to either of those clubs because as a footballer, when you look at Celtic Park, the fans, the global following of the club and the city of Glasgow, itโ€™s a great opportunity.

โ€œI understand every reason why Joe has taken the pay cut to join Celtic.โ€
