Anyone taking pleasure of this injury is disgusting. I am a @HibernianFC football fan but Craig Gordon is a human being with a young family. Hope you have a speedy recovery and back playing for @JamTarts soon. 🤕 ⚽️ pic.twitter.com/45gNmXJvdL

Sorry to hear of the injury to Craig Gordon in today’s match with Dundee United. A good servant to Celtic and one of the best Scottish keepers of all time. Get well big guy. pic.twitter.com/TsLnLljerf

Saw the Craig Gordon injury. Horrendous. He’s broken my heart many times, but that’s football. I hope he recovers fully.
