At 42, Goalie Craig Gordon Back in Scotland Squad for World Cup Qualifying Games
Craig Gordon returns to Scotland’s squad for crucial World Cup qualifiers after injury, replacing Zander Clark and joining a slimmed down 23-man team led by Steve Clarke.
- On Sep 30, 2025, Scotland recalled goalkeeper Craig Gordon, aged 42, for World Cup qualifiers against Greece on October 9 and Belarus on October 12 at Hampden Park, Glasgow.
- Craig Gordon has not played for Hearts this season and last featured on May 3 after recovering from a slipped-disc in his neck, returning to full training earlier in September.
- With the goalkeeping slots unsettled, Scotland head coach Steve Clarke named three keepers not playing regular club games, with Craig Gordon replacing Zander Clark after Clark lost his place to Alexander Schwolow recently.
- Clarke named a slimmed-down 23-man squad for the Hampden double-header, including Grant Hanley, Kieron Bowie, Anthony Ralston, and Kieran Tierney, while omitting Max Johnston and Dom Hyam.
- Scotland picked up four points without conceding from their opening two qualifiers and sit level with Denmark ahead of the Hampden double-header.
