Craig Gordon has broken his silence over his season-ending leg break as the Heart No1 roared: 'I've walked this road before.'
The Scotland international - who turns 40 today - suffered a double leg break in the Christmas Eve draw with Dundee United at Tannadice and spent his Christmas Day in hospital in Dundee undergoing surgery. He's no stranger to fighting back from adversity after a knee injury that kept him out for two years earlier in his career.
Posting on Instagram, he said: "I've played this game long enough to know that I can't take anything for granted, and when I've been 'written off' with injuries before, every game is one more than at times, I thought I might get. I know what lies ahead as I've walked this road before and I'll do it again, albeit on crutches for now.
