Gordon Strachan is determined to maintain Scotland’s number one position in the upcoming games. Even though he was omitted from the Euros squad, the veteran goalkeeper Craig Gordon made a surprising comeback during the Nations League campaign. Coming off the bench for his 75th cap in the final friendly against Finland, Gordon showed his resilience and skill, making some crucial saves in the last-gasp win over Poland Warsaw.
Despite facing challenges, including an injury to Angus Gunn that opened the door for his return, Gordon remains motivated and committed to staying at the top level. At 42 years old, he acknowledges the need to keep his body in good shape and work hard to secure his spot in the team. His determination and passion for the game are unwavering, as he looks forward to potentially being part of Group A and achieving success with the team.
Reflecting on his performance in Warsaw, Gordon revealed that he was struggling with illness during the warm-up. However, his instinct and love for the game pushed him to give his best on the field, ultimately contributing to Scotland’s victory. Despite the challenges he faced, Gordon’s dedication and perseverance shine through, setting an example for his teammates and fans alike.
Looking ahead to the upcoming games in March, Gordon is focused on maintaining his level of play and ensuring that he is fit and ready to compete at the highest level. His experience and leadership will be invaluable to the team as they strive for success in the relegation play-off and beyond. As Gordon continues to defy the odds and prove his critics wrong, he remains a key player in Scotland’s quest to maintain their position as a formidable force in international football.
