John Barnes has claimed Joe Hart "won't come under much pressure" if he moves to Celtic - despite the Hoops going for an historic Ten In A Row next season.
The Liverpool legend was Celtic boss for an eight month spell in the 1999/2000 season and departed the role after an infamous 3-1 home defeat to Inverness in the Scottish Cup.
Former England keeper Hart has been in dialogue with the Scottish Premiership champions after a deal to re-sign Fraser Forster on loan for the season appeared to fall through. He is available on a free transfer after his contract with Burnley expired.
While teams have won Nine In A Row from both halves of the Glasgow divide, Neil Lennon 's men face an historic season to become the first to secure a full decade of dominance.
And Barnes reckons that Celtic's style of dominating the ball in games would mean "hungry" Hart would be ideally suited to a move north.
Speaking to BonusCodeBets, John Barnes said: "I think Joe Hart going to Celtic would be a great move for him and for the club.
"Goalkeepers can continue playing for a lot longer than outfield players, which helps in this situation.
"Joe Hart is an experienced player, who loves his football, is hungry to keep playing at a top level and is still relatively young.
"Going up to Scotland, where he won’t come under much pressure whilst playing for Celtic, will be a good move for him and I am sure is somewhere that he could do well at."
