Liam Kelly knows he faces a three-way shoot-out to become Scotland No.1 now that Angus Gunn has joined up with Steve Clarke’s squad.
But the Motherwell keeper won’t be surprised to see Craig Gordon firing himself back into cap contention once the Hearts veteran recovers from his leg-break hell. Clarke has succeeded in finding a high-calibre replacement for the crocked 40-year-old having persuaded former England Under-21 stopper Gunn to switch allegiances.
The Norwich ace will now have to fight it out with Kelly and Gordon’s Tynecastle understudy Zander Clark to get the jersey for this week’s Euro 2020 qualifiers with Cyprus and Spain. But Kelly isn’t prepared to rule out Gordon from rejoining the glove duel after being stunned by the swift progress his rival has made since his horrific Boxing Day collision with Dundee United’s Steven Fletcher.
