Craig Gordon admits he’s been bowled over by the backing he’s received on the road to recovery – with even Hibs fans wishing him the best.
The Hearts hero is facing a huge battle to get back from a double leg break suffered against Dundee United on Christmas Eve. But the Scotland no.1 admitted he his fightback is being fuelled by the goodwill from all sides. Gordon said: "It has been absolutely incredible, I have tried to get back to some but there's no way I could get back to them all.
"There have been hundreds, probably over a thousand messages on my phone, through Instagram, texts and WhatsApp. Just to feel the warmth from everybody willing me to get better and to try and have a go at coming back. It has been really great from teams all over Scotland. Hibs fans, everything, Rangers fans, all the ones who have probably been against me at other points – to just feel the football community, the guys that respect what we go out and do every week it has been phenomenal to feel that.”
