Liam Gordon feared he may never stop sliding after quickly joining last-gasp leveller celebrations on Wednesday night.The towering centre-half was jubilant when team-mate Nicky Clark acrobatically netted deep in stoppage time to clinch a 2-2 draw with St Mirren.On a slick Paisley surface, second half substitute Gordon made sure to join in the joyous scenes but admits he almost overstepped the mark.Thankfully he avoided injury and laughed: “Nicky produces an incredible finish, giving the goalkeeper no chance.“As soon as it hit the back of the net I saw the sea of purple running towards the away end to celebrate.“I almost went through the advertising boards in celebration.“I started sliding in the penalty box and then thought: ‘I’m not stopping anytime soon’.
I had to put the brakes on.“That is what you play football for – moments like that.”Gordon had missed Sunday’s Rangers game due to illness and had to settle for a spot on the bench against St Mirren.But he was called upon in the second half to help shore things up when big Alex Mitchell was shown red.“I watched the Rangers game from the sofa,” Gordon said. “I had a dark few days with an illness.
I was sick as a dog.“When James Brown’s strike hit the back of the net, I jumped off the sofa so fast that I instantly felt sick again.“It certainly lifted my spirits though.
