Craig Gordon has warned Scotland not to pull the blinkers down on Erling Haaland and forget to keep one eye on Norway’s other goal threats.
The Hearts keeper believes the Champions League-winning Manchester City striker can’t be allowed to become the central focus when talents such as Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard will also pose a threat for Steve Clarke’s side in Oslo on Saturday. It’s a European Championship qualifier against a team packed with quality and Gordon insists all provisions will be made to keep Haaland at bay but he’s also wary of the distraction of trying to tie down the blonde goal machine.
He said: “If we think too much about Haaland then Odegaard might stick one in. Listen, we know Haaland is a threat. That will be brought up in the meetings with the management looking at where they usually score their goals from. The thing about him is that he can virtually score them from anywhere.
