The Scotland squad announcement ahead of October’s UEFA Nations League fixtures has seen boss Steve Clarke recall goalkeeper Craig Gordon.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

At 41-years-old, Gordon is welcomed back into the Tartan Army set up. His last appearance came in a 2-2 draw against Finland in June.<\/p>\n

Gordon shipped two goals against the Fins despite coming on in the 69th minute for Angus Gunn. Subsequently, he missed out in a place in the Euro 2024 squad.<\/p>\n

The Hearts shot stopper is now back in the international scene in what could well be his last appearances. To date, Gordon has 75 caps to his name.<\/p>\n

Clarke’s side will travel to Croatia on October 12 before entertaining Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal at Hampden Park three days later.<\/p>\n
