    Possibly a coaching role at the club awaits him after he retires.

    If its true we were interested and have a chance to sign him, I think it's a mistake to go with Gordon over him. Would have to be one or the other you'd think.

    Sources close to Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon have confirmed that the player is expected to formalise a three-and-a-half year contract extension this week which will secure his long-term future is at the Parkhead club.

    The 34-year-old Scotland internationalist is currently under contract with Celtic until June 2018. However, two bids from Chelsea during the January transfer window have been the catalyst for Celtic offering Gordon an improved and longer deal at the club.

    It is understood that the goalkeeper wished to speak to the Premier League leaders when their interest in him arose in January and there were suggestions that he may have resisted the offer of a further deal in order to ascertain whether Chelsea would return again this summer.

    With Stamford Bridge number one Thibaut Courtois rumoured to be heading to Real Madrid this summer and back-up keeper Asmir Begovic looking to make the move to Bournemouth that was blocked because Chelsea could not secure Gordon, there remained some uncertainty over whether the former Hearts and Sunderland stopper would be tempted to wait for a further offer in June.

    Brendan Rodgers, though, was insistent that he did not wish to lose his first choice goalkeeper. Gordon initially lost his place to Dorus De Vries in the early days of Rodgers’ arrival at the club but has since firmly established himself as the number one at the club.

    The Celtic manager had no desire to look for a goalkeeper at a time when Celtic will be preparing for UEFA Champions League qualifying ties, games that essentially underpin the club’s season with Rodgers unequivocal in his insistence that Gordon would remain at the club.

    He is capable of some cracking saves.

    Couple there against Malmo saved us from an even bigger doing. Saved Ronny's skin in the Europa during his first year too.

    Once again, horrendous. Good shot stopper, that is all. Not good enough.

    He should realize that sometimes a simple long range punt to striker/wingers is the best option.

    BR on Craig Gordon contract: "I'm led to believe that everything's agreed. Hopefully completed next week."

    His distribution and decision-making is still at times shocking.

    Glad he's committing again, excellent goalie, not sure about the shaky today, as Brown and think it was Erik played suicide balls to him today.

    He does that, he'll be dropped. Ignoring Brendan's instructions isn't going to get you far.

    I know he's only doing what is asked of him by always playing it out from the back but my * it looks like he will cost us one day. I do believe he will improve that part of his game though, must be hard for him to adapt to that style of play this late on in his career.
