Scots keeper relishing big game after comeback
The Gazette
|November 17, 2025
CRAIG Gordon will afford himself no time to reflect on his unlikely Scotland comeback as he prepares for one of the biggest games of his long career.
-
The Hearts goalkeeper won his 82nd cap in Saturday's 3-2 defeat by Greece - six weeks before his 43rd birthday and six months after his last match.
The former Celtic player became the oldest European to play in a World Cup qualifier - a record long held by Sir Stanley Matthews.
Gordon made a string of saves before Scotland fell just short in their fightback, but they can still qualify automatically after Group C leaders Denmark were held by Belarus ahead of their visit to Hampden on Tuesday.
Gordon was a near ever-present for Hearts last season but has played understudy to Alexander Schwolow since recovering from a neck problem.
