    His distribution with his feet has improved hugely in a small period of time. He will need to get his timing right when leaving the box as twice he's creamed a forward. He was clever today in the second half when he came and headed sideways clear.
    He's going to find himself in a few more of these situations during the season as Brendan likes his keepers starting very high.
    I'm delighted for the chap tho. Hope his form continues & he's our number 1 next year.

    Still feel that he always has a blunder in him.

    When a ball is firing toward his near post I * myself, but, he's improved his game ten fold since DDV came in. Proof that a bit of competition can make you step up your game.

    Problem is, how much does it cost to buy a keeper who doesn't have a flop in him? Even Nueur is capable of making a mistake.

    He's been great since he's come back in. Distribution improved massively also.

    While Celtic haven’t conceded a domestic goal in 770 minutes, Craig Gordon hasn’t conceded a domestic goal in 855 minutes

    Started to lose the faith I had in him at the start of the season, always will be a top shot stopper, but he's now improving in the weaker aspescts of his game.

    Good stuff!

    Settled defence and confident goalkeeper go hand in hand...

    Gordon: “We’d heard about the big Champions League nights & there were some great atmospheres, but nothing like that night against Man City”

    Gordon: “It was on another level (atmosphere vs City) and once you get a sample of that it just makes you hungry to get it again.“


    Gordon: “We’re more confident now. The manager has been relentless with us to make sure we are improving all of the time.“

    Gordon is our last line of defence. It has to be right. Otherwise everything else is all wrong.
