    That really is class on Gordon's part. The kind of reaching out to fans that is sadly all to uncommon these days as the players in general become more and more out of touch with the fans. It seems like Gordon is becoming one of those players who came to Celtic not Celtic minded but is becoming so.

    Aye. You'd genuinely never forget that as a kid, taking pens against Gordon up against Celtic park..

    Late to the party, but class act indeed.

    Seems a bit jittery in euro games. Could have been 3-2 when he charged out his goal and he made an awkward block with his leg that could have rebounded anywhere.

    Hopefully Boyata and Simonovic stay fit and the 3 of them can get used to each other.

    I don't think I could take another game where we play great and don;t win :54:

    Definitely nervous in Europe, made far too many blunders thus far in big games.

    Will make spectacular saves all day long then flap at 40 yard speculative efforts.

    He palmed away a * easy shot and I think they came close-ish to troubling us just after that. He flapped at another shot just after as well..

    He never * up but I certainly don't feel as comfortable with him in goal. Domestically or in Europe..

    Agreed that he doesn't look as assured in Europe as we'd like. I still think he's a very good goalkeeper though, we have been spoiled with Forster and Boruc before him.

    Never really made any convincing saves tonight. Kept palming them out.

    He's been dodgy at best this season.

    I thought the ball was moving about all over the place in flight tonight. It was affecting the fenerbace keeper too. Im happy with Gordon's contribution given that. Not much he could do with either goal. Needs to come out for some that are flighted in though

    That one he saved with his leg had a very unusual flight path. I don't think he trusts Boyata and Efe together in front of him and I wouldn't blame him

    Should have definitely saved the first imo.

    Probably should have saved the 3rd too imo.

    He's been poor lately, probably partly down to not knowing who is going to be playing in front of him week to week.

    First goal was a shocker, shot was basically a pass back.

    He's been a shambles this year..

    His kicking is woeful as well..
