Steve Clarke says Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon has his eyes fixed on playing at the World Cup - in 2026.
The 39-year-old is still playing every week at Tynecastle and is the country's undisputed number one, with an eye on making up for injuries earlier in his career. Both Scotland head coach Clarke and Hearts manager Robbie Neilson have been gushing in their praise of the Jambos number one but there was disappointment when the nation missed out on qualification for this year's World Cup.
Clarke says Gordon was instantly on to him to assure him of his commitment for the Euro 2024 campaign and even the next major tournament after that, with an eye on playing to half a century. He said: "After the disappointment of not getting to the World Cup, David Marshall decided he was going to retire. Craig was immediately on my shoulder saying: Gaffer, I want to go to the next tournament.'
