FORMER England goalkeeper Joe Hart left fans baffled after attempting to save a shot from BEHIND his goal-line.
The 36-year-old started between the sticks for Celtic ahead of their Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.

However, his goalkeeping methods came into question when he conceded a late shot from Saul Niguez.
As the midfielder lined up his close-range shot, Hart could be seen retreating into the mouth of the goal.
And by the time he attempted to make the save, the ball had already crossed the line.
Stunned fans took to social media to react, with one person tweeting: “Trying to make saves while yards behind the goal line is certainly a bold strategy from Joe Hart. Surprisingly, it didn’t work.”
Another added: “I have no idea how he can possibly do this.”
A third fan quipped: “He glitched.”
While a fourth joked: “Joe Hart been playing to much fifa with dodgy keeping skills.”
Atletico Madrid went on to convincingly win the match 6-0, with Antoine Griezmann, Alvaro Morata, Samuel Lino and Saul all scoring.
