FORMER England keeper Joe Hart is odds-on to join Scottish champions Celtic.
The ex-Man City No 1 is now a free agent after his contract at Burnley expired at the end of the season.

Hart, 33, did not feature once in the Premier League and made a total of just three appearances – two in the FA Cup and one in the League Cup.
But his pedigree – two-time Premier League winner with City and 75 Three Lions caps – has alerted the Scottish champions.
Hart is now 4/5 to join Neil Lennon’s side – where none other than John Barnes thinks he will be a huge success.
That does not necessarily mean a switch is on the cards though.
The Parkhead club are said to be close to completig a move for Greek goalkeeper Vasilios Barkas.
He is set to join from AEK Athens in a deal worth around £4.5million with add-ons to follow.
It is believed the move could be officially announced in the coming days.
Lennon has been on the lookout for a new No 1 since Fraser Forster’s loan deal ended.
Should Hart remain in England then newly promoted West Brom are 3/1 to land him while Championship winners Leeds are 9/1.
Any MLS club is 10/1 while Arsenal and Derby are next on 12/1.
