Former national boss Gordon Strachan has backed stricken keeper Craig Gordon to reclaim the Scotland No.1 shirt - despite suffering a double leg break a week before turning 40.
The veteran Hearts keeper has already been ruled out for the rest of the season after the horror injury which occurred at Tannadice on Saturday in a clash with Dundee United striker Steven Fletcher. And that has led to conjecture over Gordon’s chances of ever pulling on a pair of gloves again as he prepares for a milestone birthday this weekend.
But Strachan - who played in England’s top flight at the same age - is convinced Gordon will be back in goal again soon. He told Record Sport: “I texted Craig this morning and while I leave that between the two of us, what I would say is, when you look at his career, it’s been full of character building moments. And he’s dealt with them all brilliantly.
