JOE HART gave an incredible behind-the-scenes look at life as a co-commentator after making his Champions League gantry bow this season.
The former Manchester City stopper has been working for TNT Sports ever since hanging up his gloves last summer.
But Hart has instead been tasked with providing co-commentary duties for another of his former sides.
The 75-time England goalie has been providing analysis on Celtic’s chances in the Champions League this term.
Working alongside commentator Rory Hamilton, Hart has helped deliver some crucial analysis of the Hoops’ journey to the group stage play-offs.
The 37-year-old was on duty again for Wednesday’s first-leg clash with Bayern Munich at Celtic Park, which the Hoops lost 2-1.

But Hart also used the opportunity to show some behind-the-scenes glimpses of the gantry while also analysing his first season as a co-commentator.
Hart showed off the several screens he gets to help break down what’s going on – including a unique one just for VAR.
He then revealed an audio box that adjusts volumes in his ear-set, allowing Hart to either tune in to producers, TNT Sports’ in-house show or the loud noises of the Celtic faithful.
The ace then gave a brutally honest assessment of his time in the gantry, admitting he’s still learning the ropes while loving his time as co-commentator.

Hart said: “I’m new to this. There are moments when I need to shut up. I think as a co-comm, the final third, you leave that to the main man.
“He’ll tell the story as it unfolds. Often, my role will be to come in on replays and give opinion on what’s happened.
“There’s lots going on and lots to get your head around, especially with me being new.
“It’s an all-round experience. I learned a lesson in the last game that I drank too much and I needed the toilet… it was a painful last 20 minutes!
“I was so mentally ready to be in this sort of role. I’ve just been learning on the job.
“Hopefully I’m going to get better and better and improve as we go.”
