Hart left Tottenham to join Scottish Premiership giants Celtic in the summer transfer window.
The London Evening Standard reported that the Hoops paid the Spurs £ 1 million in transfer fee for the former Manchester City goalkeeper.

Hart joined Tottenham on a free transfer last summer when José Mourinho was in charge of the north London club.
The goalkeeper told The Daily Mail: “I like to compromise, I like to wear the badge correctly for the team I represent.
“And then two or three weeks after preseason, they told me, ‘Whatever happens, you won’t kick a ball for Tottenham.’
Hart added: “Yes. That is what Nuno (Espirito Santo) wanted. I never really had a conversation with him and the only conversation we had was that.

Succeed at Celtic
Hart was a substitute for Hugo Lloris at Tottenham last season, and it was always unlikely that he was going to be number one anytime soon.
The 34-year-old is a very experienced goalkeeper who is doing well at Celtic, where he is the first option.

Hart is now in his 30s and clearly past his prime, but he’s good enough to do a decent job in Scotland.
Celtic are aiming to win the Scottish Premiership title this season and will also play in the Europa League.
The former Burnley goalkeeper will play an important role in the Hoops’ search this season.
