Joe Hart gave a very powerful reminder of why match sharpness is so important and why these pre-season games are vital.
Three minutes into Celtic’s return, the goalkeeper tried to collect the ball but spilled it, conceding his first goal of the season.
It was a shocker from the keeper, who clearly needs to get up to speed.
The goal was thankfully cancelled out a few minutes later by Daizen Maeda.

Joe is Celtic’s number one going into the new season. The Englishman has been brilliant for the bhoys over the past two years.
However, there have been rumours Brendan Rodgers is in the market for a goalkeeper.
Celtic need a succession plan for the former Man City man. The tr36-year-old has one year left on his Celtic deal.
There’s no doubt Joe can still do it at a decent level, but he could come up wanting in the Champions League. Hart is a great shot-stopper, but more frailties are slowly creeping into his game.
Clangers Hart, priority must be a replacement, he makes at least one clanger in every match.
We have wingers arriving but when a defence is so dodgy that needs priority.
