Zander Clark on his 'bittersweet' Hearts debut as he hails 'brilliant' Craig Gordon

Zander Clark admits his Hearts debut was a 'bittersweet' moment as he gets set for an extended run in the side.

Jambos and Scotland No1 Craig Gordon is out for the long-term after suffering a double leg break. He will miss the remainder of this season. He's been a key player for Robbie Neilson at club level and Steve Clarke on the international scene over the past few years with the stopper making big saves and winning points on his own.

Former St Johnstone keeper Clark - who will come up against his old club tonight - has been waiting for an opportunity due to the stunning form of the 39-year-old. He will now get that chance due to the serious injury with the Scotland squad man 'gutted' for his team-mate. But now he wants to make sure he picks up from where Gordon left off by doing well and helping the capital club on their mission to finish best of the rest behind Celtic and Rangers once again and secure another European adventure after their Europa Conference League group stage exploits this term.
