Craig Gordon is facing his own long road back from injury but the Scotland no.1 reckons there will be another couple of comeback kings in between the sticks at Hampden on Sunday.
The Hearts hero is laid up as he battles back from a devastating double leg break at Christmas and no one will be betting against the 40-year-old proving the doubters wrong for the umpteenth time. He’ll be watching the Viaplay Cup Final this weekend and he reckons there are similar stories unfolding with his fellow members of the Goalkeeper’s Union.
Celtic star Joe Hart and Rangers main man Allan McGregor might be at opposite ends of the pitch but they have plenty in common. They are not quite both signing up for the SAGA holidays yet but at 35 and 41 years old respectively, the pair of them have around the block a few times – and taken a fair few knocks. Gordon has got that T-shirt as well and he sees a similar steel in the pair of them. Hart hit the huge heights as a Premier League champion with Manchester City and England’s no.1. But he was written off by some after falling down the pecking order at Spurs following spells in Italy and with West Ham and Burnley.
