It's been an incredible year for Hearts but I feel 2022 is ending on a bit of a sour note.
It was another big result up at Perth on Wednesday which ensures we’ll hit the Premiership halfway point sitting where we want to be come May, in behind the Old Firm as best of the rest. Robbie Neilson and his players have done a fantastic job this past year, finishing third and taking the fans on a European adventure. But I’m still struggling to shake off the disappointment of that horrendous injury suffered by Craig Gordon on Christmas Eve.
Given how vital a figure he is for the club as a whole, it feels like it’s put a huge downer on things. I won’t lie, I just feel so sad for him because I know what he went through to rescue his career after that brutal lay-off down at Sunderland. I did my knee twice and coming back from it was hard enough the first time. When it happened a second time, I was ruined. My head went.
