At 42, goalie Craig Gordon back in Scotland squad for World Cup qualifying gamesBy Canadian Press on September 30, 2025. GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) — At age 42, veteran goalkeeper Craig Gordon is back in the Scotland squad picked Tuesday for two key 2026 World Cup qualifying games. One Scotland teammate, Bournemouth winger Ben Gannon Doak, was not born when Gordon made his national-team debut in May 2004. Scotland has two home games in Glasgow after a promising start to a four-team qualifying group three weeks ago. Still, Gordon’s call-up reflects a wider concern for Scotland coach Steve Clarke, who selected three goalkeepers not currently playing regular games at their clubs.
