Craig Gordon wants to become Scotland ’s oldest international when the Nations League countdown concludes after turning back the clock again to reach the top table.
The 39-year-old keeper threw up the shutters in Krakow to deny Ukraine on Wednesday, a full-length one-handed save to stop Mykhaylo Mudryk shortly after the break the stand-out in a string of superb saves. It was just the latest show-stopping performance from the Hearts skipper, who is enjoying a fairytale twilight period in his stellar career. Back-to-back clean sheets against Ukraine either side of a key save to deny Troy Parrott in a 2-1 win over the Republic of Ireland mean he contributed as much as anyone in the space of six days to secure promotion.
Gordon will be 41 by the time Scotland take their place among Europe’s elite in the next Nations League campaign come 2024. That’s one year older than David Weir was when the former defender ran out against Spain in 2010 aged 40 years and 155 days, the most senior Scot to pull on the shirt.
But it’s not stopping Gordon targeting still being No.1 at an age when contemporaries will be watching with their pipe and tartan slippers on. He said: “That’s what I’ve said to the boys, that I’ll be trying my best. Who knows? It’s a while away yet. Let’s see what happens. I’ll give it a go.
“Just to be part of this group is fantastic, a great bunch of boys to come away with. You can see how much they’re fighting for each other every single game.
“Everybody enjoys coming away – it’s a great atmosphere. We’ve really created that now and we want to keep it as long as possible. We want to try to get to major tournaments. We’ve had a taste of one and we want to give ourselves the best chance to do it again.”
Fight perfectly
