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.
