Joe Hart has no hesitation that Daizen Maeda will give his all to Celtic despite having a transfer exit blocked.
The Japanese attacker recently revealed that he consistently communicated his desire to depart the Parkhead club over the summer, although a move never came to fruition.
Speaking after a legends match between Celtic and Manchester United on Saturday, Hart, who played alongside Maeda 103 times, delivered his verdict on the situation.

"Now that window's closed, whatever's gone on, I don't know. I don't personally know the conversations or how far down the line he got.
"It's none of my business, to be honest, but I know now that the window’s shut, Daizen will be out there to give his all and perform well for Celtic because they're his employers and they're the team and the fans who absolutely adore him."
Maeda contributed to 44 goals in 51 Celtic appearances last term.
The 27-year-old currently has two years left on his contract with the Scottish Premiership champions.
Whether he will depart in January or not remains to be seen.
