Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon set for Scotland recall

Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon is poised for a recall to the Scotland squad two years since his last international cap.

Craig Gordon is set to rejoin the Scotland squad after a two-year absence.

The 37-year-old’s form since returning to Tynecastle Park in June has captured the attention of national coach Steve Clarke. He is now set to name Gordon in his squad for this month’s triple header.

Scotland play Serbia in the European Championship play-off final in Belgrade next Thursday before travelling to Slovakia and Israel for Nations League ties.

Clarke watched Gordon’s most recent performance on Saturday as the keeper produced several saves during Hearts’ win against Hibs in the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park.

Rejoining to Hearts has seen his stock rise in recent weeks and helped catapult him back to international level. Gordon last appeared for Scotland in October 2018 in a 3-1 friendly defeat by Portugal.

He currently holds 54 caps for his country, recording 22 clean sheets in that time. Clarke is due to reveal his full squad on Tuesday afternoon.
