Josh Ginnelly has revealed Craig Gordon's first words to his Hearts teammates after his sickening collision with Steven Fletcher.
The Jambos skipper looked to have suffered a horror leg break after he rushed out to a bouncing ball to divert it away from danger before his former Scotland teammate Fletcher couldn't help but run into him. Pictures of the clash made for grim viewing, and Gordon was stretchered from the Tannadice pitch receiving gas and air, seemingly in some amount of distress as his teammates watched on ashen faced.
It looks almost certain that the veteran keeper's season is over. He was taken to hospital but boss Robbie Neilson backed the "warrior" to make a comeback. But the extent of the damage won't be known until Gordon can be properly assessed. Understudy Zander Clark replaced Gordon for his Hearts debut and will likely be a fixture between the sticks for the remainder of the campaign.
