CELTIC keeper Joe Hart made a HORRIFIC error to gift RB Leipzig the lead in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
In the 64th minute of the Scots’ 3-1 defeat, the former England international, 35, received a pass in his own area while under no real pressure.
But he made a complete hash of things as his attempted pass went straight to Leipzig man Dominik Szoboszlai.
He pounced on the ball and played it straight through to Andre Silva who cooly slotted beyond Hart to give Leipzig a 2-1 lead.
Reacting to the clip on social media, one person said: “Well that is funny.”
And another cruelly added: “Same old Joey.”

Hart’s error came just moments after Celtic were saved by VAR when Szoboszlai rattled in a wonderful strike.
The Hungarian’s superb goal was ruled out because of a player standing in an offside position obstructing Hart’s view.
Yet just minutes later the ex-England shot-stopper could not be saved by the technology as Celtic went behind for a second time in the match.
It came after Christopher Nkunku’s first half strike had been cancelled out by Jota.
