Scott Bain will likely come in for the suspended Hart but Sutty doesn't think Rodgers will follow Mikel Arteta's lead.
Mikel Arteta might like the idea of chopping and changing goalkeepers on a weekly basis – and he admitted he’s even thought about doing it during games.
Joe Hart will miss Saturday's match at Motherwell after his red card against Livingston last weekend and you’d expect Scott Bain to get the nod between the sticks having came off the bench at the Tony Macaroni Arena. The debate around the Celtic keeper role was pretty loud over the summer when Brendan Rodgers had the option to go into the market and get another glovesman.
He also handed the Scotland squad man a start in the League Cup Final the following season – the last trophy Rodgers won in his first spell at the club. Gordon was fit for Hampden but Bain got the nod and he stayed in the team for most of the remainder of the season, even after Neil Lennon took the reins and completed the Treble.
As for Livingston, I had a bit of sympathy for him. It was a ball over the top that wasn’t dealt with by his defence and the ball held up on the plastic pitch. Incredibly, it was Hart’s first sending off in a career with almost 700 games. I still think Hart is the best option for Celtic. Rodgers’s side is heading in to a crucial part of the season where the big games are coming thick and fast.
Hatate’s main focus should now be on getting back to fitness and top form. There were signs at Livingston he was getting there but he’s not played much football this season and is not yet up to speed. There was a lot of speculation surrounding him in the summer and Rodgers seemed to suggest it was a distraction.
