Craig Gordon has faced many setbacks in his long, illustrious career, so who would bet against him making it onto Scotland's plane to Germany in the…

Craig Gordon is battling it out with the three other keepers in Steve Clarke's current Scotland squad for a place at the European Championships this summer.goalkeeper has beaten the odds after being written off so many times that his return to the international set-up after a horrific leg break - and at 41 years of age - should come as little surprise to anyone.

Where previously it was David Marshall and Allan McGregor that Gordon would have been vying with for the gloves, now it is Norwich City’s Angus Gunn who is the man in possession. Along for the ride too are Motherwell’s Liam Kelly and Hearts teammate Zander Clark, who it could be argued, somewhat curiously, is above him in the Tynecastle pecking order but behind him in the reckoning for his country.

There are still a lot of driving factors in there to make sure I do everything I can to keep playing to the best of my ability.“This team, at the moment, is a really special one to be part of. It was always something I was striving to get back for, especially with how well the team was doing and the build-up to these Euros. “It’s great to be back and hopefully I can stay here for a while yet.

Marshall seized his opening prior to Euro 2020, making crucial saves in the play-off penalty shootouts against Israel and Serbia to ensure he would be first choice going into the championships, and this time, it is Gunn who has excelled since coming into the fold in March last year. “I hope I can be part of it and the fans can enjoy it and we can give them something to shout about.”
