2426255 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Quote Absolutely it’s something we have to monitor and we’re monitoring it. It’s possible we’ll have the same sort of Saturday as we had on Wednesday, but the most important part of that is that mum and baby do well. Steve Clarke https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/sport/22575152.scotland-manager-steve-clarke-braced-lose-expectant-father-craig-gordon-republic-ireland-rematch/ Didn't see this anywhere so post it hopefully their baby screw the nut on this one. There are big things at stake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Zinchenko patched the birth of his kid to play football. If Craig Gordon doesn't do the same then I hope he's never selected again imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 It's all about priorities. He should have his phone propped against one of the posts with a zoom link to the maternity ward. A wee glance at it every 5 mins then a wee "well done you" to his Mrs when the sprog arrives is plenty.However, that strategy comes with a danger that the first thing the bairn might see is Ireland lacing the ball past his forlorn, mud-streaked Dad [emoji853] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stylish Kid Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Anyway. Another match, another cap for Gordon. Amazing still to think of the 15 years of Gordon/Marshall/McGregor I think the medium -term replacement is currently benched at Hearts. No idea who comes in after 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 Force Gordon to go until he's about 50 seems to be the plan. There's no one near his quality coming through and it'll instantly be the weak spot in the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline Don Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 As Craig Gordon has just had a son born we now have an heir! Get Axels name down for goalkeeping coaching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC scotland should be funding a new series of ‘who do you think you are’ but the guests are exclusively middling English championship goalkeepers.

Hendricks Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Last night was his 73rd cap and in gaining it passed Tommy Boyd (72) and became the 6th most capped Scotsman in history. Ahead of him: King Kenny 102 Jim Leighton 91 Darren Fletcher 80 Alex McLeish 77 Paul McStay 76 If he stays fit I fully expect that Euro 2024 will be his swansong. I think he will announce that next season (2023-24) will be his last which means he has 3 more opportunities to win something with Hearts and he will bow out after Germany, where he will realise a career dream of playing for Scotland at a major Championship. Should that all transpire and he remains fit throughout he could get anywhere from 10-20 more caps depending on the Euro draw, play offs, availability and success! 8/10 (dependent on group size) Euro 2024 qualifiers 2 potential play off games for Euro 2024 1 Friendly in November 2022 2 Friendlies prior to Euro 2024 3 games minimum at Euro 2024 He's a certainty now to pass McLeish and McStay and barring injury Fletcher. Ironically despite the success last night of getting into Nations League A he will likely have to continue to play into the 2024-25 season to ever play a match in it, due to the football calendar. You really wonder if not for injury how many caps he would have, certainly already surpassed Dalgleish if it hadn't been for injury. During his 'era' Marshall and McGregor won 89 caps! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Yeah he'd either have already surpassed Dalglish or would've been on the brink of it. Marshall and McGregor were two good goalkeepers in their prime so would've got some game time, and I think Gordon might've been dropped for McGregor at one point even before his injury but I could be misremembering. He was my favourite Scotland player growing up which feels a bit mental considering I'm now way too old to (publicly) say I have a favourite player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Next stop is David Weir's "oldest Scotland player ever" record which Gordon should smash through (40 years 116 days). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 It’s hard to believe Craig Gordon is the same age as Jim Leighton when he played at France 98 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
