Just watched a re-run of recent international goals conceded in the last campaign and Craig Gordon does not look too clever in many of them. I know it's different from club football with different defenders in front of him but I have raised concerns about him on here for a long time and hope we have a replacement in mind pretty soon.
I know he is a good shot stopper as such, but his positioning, reactions and decision making are all over the place.

He was badly at fault for the English second goal.

He's a kinda "Marmite" Keeper. Cross balls and getting beat at his near post far to often is my gripe.

I don't see him staying no1 after the summer. Dorus contract will expire so we will be looking to bring someone in to challenge for the jersey. I've not seen much of hazard and no disrespect to him but I'd be disappointed if he was No2 and Gordon was kept on as first choice. Just depends if BR wants to spend money elsewhere in the team.

He is way way way not good enough. Never really tested in SPL but at European and international level he is poor.

I think we should be looking to spend a few quid sourcing a new, quality keeper. Gordon has had no competition in his time with Celtic and is responsible for quite a few howlers and got away with it. He's a good shot stopper but his tendency to palm the ball back into play is furiating! He's also kicking on a bit in years so we will have to replace him sooner or later.

Doesn't take long for the knives to come out does it I seem to remember Gordon pulling off what some were calling a world-class save to keep our unbeaten run going along with some other recent top class shot stopping easily forgotten by some on here.

I saw that Vorm of Spurs, that we were linked with, is coming to the end of his contract this summer as he only signed a 1 year extension.

Would be good to see Dorius leave and then you have Vorm and Gordon fighting it out for the number 1 slot.

BigD, that's the point made. Most of us accept he can be a brilliant shot stopper but goalkeeping is far more than just making great saves. CG has poor distribution, poor control of his area and six yard box. Stands on the goal line more often than not and leaps like a half-shut knife sometimes.

I keep reading about vorm but the guy hasn't kicked a baw in years. No one knows if he still has it. Plus I would question the drive and desire of any player that was as good as him that is willing to sit and just take the money.
