Caledonian Craig Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Craig Gordon played 30 minutes for Hearts B team last night. No ill-effects and made a decent save tipping a shot over the bar. Edited October 27, 2023 by Caledonian Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there’s not really much room for sentiment when it comes to these things, but if there’s one player that I’d love to see getting a cap at the euros, it’s Craig Gordon. What a servant he’s been for the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All top keepers who played on into their 40s at the highest level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, Gordon in the squad is a no brainer if fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all hope but whether that is a realistic hope is another matter entirely. I do wonder whether Burke's best role is as an impact player/supersub coming in for the last 15-20 minutes.

Plenty strength and speed but you need more than that these days. Described as uncoachable during his time in Germany and never been a regular at any of his many clubs. Signed some cracking contracts so good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably right but you have to hand it to him for making a lucrative career as a professional footballer without being a player. 10 out of 10 for him.

Wouldn’t want another Scot at that club for the forseeable. It’s a club steeped in mediocrity from top to bottom. Hope he can play well and get another move.

It's depressing but I think he's probably going with what he's got for the minute. Realistically we've only got Wright and Souttar who might start, can't remember whether Jack is injured again. Sadly Hibs only had one Scot in their starting players (excluding Martin Boyle). I wonder what will happen if SPFL clubs become feeder clubs for England. I worry that we'll see even fewer Scots getting a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
