    Yeah, I'm comparing them in their time with us. Early days yet I know but for now...

    Dunno if Craig Gordon ever produced a performance away in Europe like Hart did the other night. Happy for someone to say otherwise though

    Gordon :52: even now he's levels above what Gordon has ever been. That's not taking into account he's also not a complete * like Gordon is.

    Hart is miles better than Gordon.

    Miles.


    Better than Forster, both at their peak, unsure.

    Better than Forster's first 4 months at the club? Aye.

    Let's assess Hart in comparison to Forster in a year or two.

    But needless to say, Hart is a brilliant player for us and doing extremely well. Something I wasn't remotely confident he was able to do when the signing was first made.
    Happy to have been wrong here.

    Bit of recency bias going on methinks. Forster and Boruc were both better than Hart as pure goalkeepers. Hart’s just in the door though and contributes to the team through his personality and leadership qualities.

    None of them come close to Forster.

    The * he pulled off was absolutely ridiculous.

    Boruc is far and away the best goalkeeper I’ve seen at Celtic and it’s not even close.

    Forster
    Boruc
    Hart
    Gordon

    In that order for recent Celtic GK's..

    Gordon was still a very very good goalkeeper though, just not in the end.

    I'd put Forster ahead of Boruc cos the Holy goalie got fat and started throwing them in the net in his last couple of seasons

    Gordon was a calamity for 2 seasons before he finally left.

    A European disaster zone into the bargain.

    Personally think you're being kind to Gordon by saying only 2 season, but I do admit I've got a bigger dislike for the guy than most do :56:


    Forster
    Hart
    Boruc
    Top three in my life time and likely that order. Though Hart needs time to see if he is consistent enough to remain above boruc, or can kick on more to out do Forster. Time will tell either way.

    The cup final from Forster is the best performance I've ever seen from any keeper in world football in my lifetime.

    Celtic and Forster just seem to work they were perfect for each other.

    Hart can't save a penalty like Boruc or Foster. They were both absolutely brilliant at saving them. Anyway it's nice to have this argument considering the shambles the gk position was last season

    Pretty sure Hart has a better record at saving penalties than Boruc.


    Forster is one of the few keepers around who are just great when it comes to penalties.

    He was an absolute beast that day. Nothing was going to get past him. A howitzer blast couldnt have gotten past him

    Just basing it on Harts penalty record for us so far
