Ally McCoist in Craig Gordon Celtic claim as 'top class goalkeeper' tipped for Scotland recall

Ally McCoist reckons Craig Gordon is still good enough to be between the posts for Celtic as he tipped the goalkeeper for a Scotland recall.

The veteran returned to Hearts over the summer after rejecting a new deal at Parkhead on significantly reduced terms.

Summer signing Vasilis Barkas has had a difficult start to his Celtic career, and McCoist reckons Gordon is still good enough to be playing for the champions.

The Rangers legend said on Premier Sports: "Listen, he's a top class goalkeeper.

"In my opinion I think he's probably still good enough to be playing for Celtic - and potentially Scotland.

"He's been a great servant to every club that he's played for, and indeed the country, throughout his career.

"Bags of experience and - you don't want to put the kiss of death on anybody - but generally his handling is very, very good.

"The real positive is that he imposes on his area and he gives the defenders in front of him a real confidence, they know they've got a really solid goalkeeper behind them."
