Spence and the Scotland international collided during a Scottish League Cup match in September 2016, with the former Celtic youngster sustaining an injury that kept him off work for three months.

The goalie raced from his goal and caught spence with a forceful aerial challenge that resulted in a yellow card.

After Gordon’s comments relating to the recent furore surrounding the Scottish FA’s disciplinary procedures, a Twitter user posted a picture of the challenge, describing it as “bewildering” that the Hoops No.1 had not faced retrospective action for the challenge on Spence.

However, the 26-year-old responded saying: “I was off work for three months after this challenge but Craig Gordon covered the wages I lost so I forgive him.”

Gordon had suggested on Thursday that Scottish football’s governing body needed to ensure greater transparency in its disciplinary process.
