Joe Hart has accused Scott Brown of going 'too far' after the former Celtic captain trolled the England goalkeeper over Scotland's World Cup celebrations. The incident occurred during a BBC Sportscene broadcast following Scotland's 1-0 win over Haiti.
Scotland's Historic Win
Steve Clarke's side secured a vital three points in their first World Cup appearance since 1998, with John McGinn's goal being the difference. It was also Scotland's first World Cup win since 1990, when they beat Sweden 2-1. The victory sparked wild celebrations among fans at The Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.

Host Kelly Cates noted Hart's reaction to the celebrations, asking why the win was so significant for Scotland. Brown responded, "Joe, we never do anything easily..." before Hart interjected: "The images are - I am not hating, I am enjoying it. I wish I was in that stadium now."
Brown then joked, "You wish you were Scottish really, don't you? You are about 70 per cent there." An unimpressed Hart replied: "You have gone way too far there Scott, way too far."
BBC Clarification
Cates quickly clarified that Hart was not being dismissive, but rather offering a different perspective. Brown concluded by highlighting the significance of the moment for Scottish fans, many of whom had never seen their team win a World Cup match.
