I don’t have live access to the latest feeds right now, but I can share the most recent widely reported context about Craig Gordon up to late 2024–2025 and how it stood at that time.
Latest context (as of last widely covered updates)
- Scotland recall and ongoing role: Craig Gordon was recalled to the Scotland squad for the Nations League double-header in October 2024, with Steve Clarke describing him as “up for the fight” and indicating Gordon remained in contention alongside Angus Gunn. This recall followed Gordon’s earlier omission from Euro 2024 selection, marking a renewal of his international involvement after injuries and a long career at the top level [source coverage around Sept–Oct 2024; Sky Sports article cited in coverage; STV article on Clarke’s comments].[1][3]
- Club situation and status at Hearts: Gordon continued to play for Hearts during this period, including a notable comeback from serious injury (double leg break in 2022) and maintaining a high level of performance to remain in consideration for international duty. Reporting around 2024–2025 highlighted his persistence, age being an asset in terms of experience, and a plan that included aiming to extend playing time and potentially mark a later stage of his career with a testimonial year approach at Hearts. This context was reinforced by post-injury comebacks and subsequent appearances for Hearts in domestic competition.[2][3]
- 2025 testimonial and nearing final seasons: In mid-2025 reporting, Gordon discussed the possibility that the upcoming season could be his last at Hearts, with a testimonial planned against Sunderland. He indicated openness to continuing if form and fitness allowed, but he framed it as a potential final chapter, given his age and long career.[2]
What this means if you’re tracking him now
- If you’re looking for the very latest, check: (a) Hearts’ official site for any updated contract status, injuries, or retirement announcements; (b) Scotland national team updates from the Scottish FA and Steve Clarke for any new call-ups or retirement notes; (c) reputable football outlets (Sky Sports, STV, BBC) for match reports and quotes.
- Given his age and history, any current news will likely emphasize: whether he’s still first-choice or sharing duties with other keepers, any injury updates, and whether there are new international call-ups or a falling-back to club-only duties.
