Scotland: Craig Gordon in squad for friendlies against Netherlands and Northern Ireland – MASHAHER


Craig Gordon has been recalled to the Scotland squad for this month’s friendly matches against the Netherlands and Northern Ireland.

The goalkeeper, 41, has played three times – in the Scottish Cup – since a year out with a double leg break.

Gordon won the last of his 74 Scotland caps in November 2022, and his Hearts team-mate Zander Clark has remained first choice for Premiership games.

Clark, 31, is also included but Celtic’s Callum McGregor, 30, is out.

The Celtic captain and midfielder has missed his club’s past two games with an Achilles problem.

Gordon kept his first clean sheet of the season as Hearts beat hosts Greenock Morton 1-0 in Monday’s Scottish Cup quarter-final.

The Dutch host Steve Clarke’s Scots in Amsterdam on 22 March before Northern Ireland visit Hampden four days later, with both games kicking off at 19:45 GMT.
