Sunderland are still due us the £750,000 (Or whatever the figure is). But Gordon is about 5 games short of 100 appearances.

I think he will sign a new deal with them.  O'Neil rates him highly.

We get the money we're due at the end of the season, regardless of appearances.

Must have been app money or completion of initial contract then.

Handy to have that sum coming in either way

I think it was posted before (IIRC) that we were due £1m as soon as he played 100 games. If he reached the end of the contract without hitting that target, then the money was paid pro-rata. As he's played 94 out of the 100 we can still expect to get most of the million.

Still not seen anything to back up the OP's claim that he needs another operation, so for Craig (and Scotland) I hope it turns out to be BS and he can, at last, get on with his career.

Didn't know that was the agreement - nice one.

Add in the Wallace money and that will make a tidy difference to our budget.

If we get any of the Wallace money it will be a minimal amount.

Stuart Reegan has confirmed that Rangers debts to Dundee Utd, Hearts, and Dunfermline would be, if necessary, paid by the SPL and/or the SFA.

[Connor-The-Jambo]

Craig Gordon is a great keeper!!!!!! If he doesnt get a game for martin o'neil i think hearts should try getting him on a loan

[Denny Crane]

From the SFA website today. No mention of this 'op'.

Just read that. Think someone is having you on OP.

O'Neil wont rush CG. He will be back in when craig is ready. Which may be next season.

[Borthers]

So this was nonsense aye?

I'd be surprised to see him play for Sunderland again.  He's fit again (for how long?) but only 3rd choice plus I think they're due us quite a bit of money if he plays another few games.  I also saw in one of the local papers down there a few weeks ago they were suggesting it was unlikely he'd be offered a new contract in the summer.

I know but MO'N knows all about CG and what he can get out of him. I reckon he will get a new deal but wont be a long one. Probably a 1 year extension.

On some kind of reduced terms too I'd imagine.

The is a lot of interest in CG down south, even tho he has being injured a lot. Would not be surprise if he went to a top 6 club as even first choice or back up!

I could still see him at Spurs or a newly promoted team for next season. Still a top goalie when back to full fitness. Heres hoping.

i think you could count on one hand the amount of howlers Craig Gordon has made in his career up here and down there (albeit injured a wee bit ) that to me is something not many keepers can claim.
