Zander Clark reveals Craig Gordon has unfinished Hearts business as he insists he's STILL Jambos No.2

dailyrecord.co.uk:

He's only just got his hands on the jersey. But Zander Clark knows Craig Gordon wants it back again, and the big keeper wouldn’t have it any other way.Clark made his first Hearts start in Perth - all of places - on Wednesday night as Scotland No.1 Gordon recovered at home with his family following the horrific double leg break which many suspected might end his glittering career.

But, even though the veteran will turn 40 this weekend, he has already begun plotting the timeline for his return to action.And stand-in Clark is more than content to keep the place warm for his pal for the time being - while trying to secure Gordon with the chance to smash more records next season.

Wednesday night’s 3-2 win sent Hearts into third place in the top flight table and into pole position in the race for a European spot.And, with Gordon now one tie away from racking up more appearances in Europe than any player in the Tynecastle club’s history, Clark has the perfect ‘get well soon’ gift in mind. “That’s what the big man is like," Clark grinned when it was put to him that Gordon is already planning to make him a benchwarmer again next season.“He has faced serious injuries before in his career and I’m sure he will have a road map planned out on his recovery.

Obviously everyone at the club is fully behind him and offering his support to him. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope he is back soon.“The big man is one away from breaking that record of European appearances and that’s an added incentive for all of us.
