CRAIG Gordon has earned just one winners’ medal in his 14 years as a professional footballer so far. If everything goes to plan for Celtic, he could hoover up another three in the next 11 weeks. It is an indication of the prolific level of silverware collection which Gordon can hope to achieve at the club where he has re-ignited his career in such eye-catching fashion this season. please log in to view this image Craig Gordon has enjoyed a fine season. Picture: SNS As he heads into tomorrow’s League Cup Final at Hampden, the first leg of what Celtic hope will be only the fourth domestic treble in their history, the goalkeeper can already afford to feel a deep sense of satisfaction with his return to optimum form and full fitness after two years on the sidelines with a career-threatening knee injury. Such has been the standard of Gordon’s performances with the Scottish champions, he now finds himself being linked with a return to the English Premier League. The 32-year-old is on a list of potential targets compiled by Chelsea as they line up a replacement for Petr Cech in the event of his departure this summer. It has prompted Celtic manager Ronny Deila to call for an extended contract to be offered to Gordon. The former Hearts No 1 is typically relaxed about the situation. While he does not rule out another crack at England’s top flight, where he spent five years with Sunderland, he is currently highly content with life at Celtic.
He certainly has done well for himself, there is no disputing that, but for us he was an expensive disaster, on the Flo scale. He never lived up to his billing, and for every good display there was 10 poor ones imo. Second half against stoke stands out in my memeory, a watershed if ever there was one.
Not a chance, I can remember the 2nd half on one season when Craig Gordon virtually kept us. He put in some world class performances I thought. Flo never made an impact, Gordon did.
Absolutely this! Some on here have a much better memory than me. I remember more good than bad, and that we were lucky to have him, though, tbf, that may have been early on.
Who? Defoe broke his arm but it was his knee ligaments that nearly ended his career. Can't remember how he did them though.
Think you're being harsh. I'll acknowledge he was a keeper who's confidence was easily shaken and it showed in his commanding of the area but he's a great keeper who'd I think would still be our number one if not for injuries. Waste of money in terms of injuries which is bad luck. Never Flo proportions imo.
