It turned out to be a sad Christmas for a couple of Scottish football’s biggest names as Craig Gordon and Steven Davis were ruled out for the remainder of the season. Rangers veteran Davis has suffered a serious knee injury while Hearts keeper Gordon sustained a horrific suspected broken leg after colliding with Dundee United’s Steven Fletcher.
And David Campbell fears those bitter blows may spell the end of two incredible careers, saying: “What a terrible way it would be for Davis and Gordon to bow out if these injuries prove to be as bad as feared. At 37 and 39, you have to wonder if they are able to come back. It would be such a shame to see these two fantastic servants to the Scottish game retire like this. Fingers crossed they can recover as soon as possible and go out on their own terms.”
Stephen Mulhern, Dumbarton, added: “My attendance at Celtic Park on Saturday watching Celtic maintain their nine point advantage was then later overshadowed when I heard the news of Craig Gordon’s career-threatening injury. It’s not only a tragedy for Hearts and himself but for Scotland too.”
