Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon was in action for Scotland against Belgium on Friday.

Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon was in action for Scotland on Friday evening, as Alex McLeish’s side lost 4-0 to Belgium at Hampden Park in a friendly international.

It was a night to forget for Gordon, as the Celtic goalkeeper conceded as many as four goals.

Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton was following the match, and he was not impressed with the 35-year-old goalkeeper’s effort during Belgium’s second goal.

Chelsea attacker Eden Hazard scored the second goal for the Red Devils in the opening minute of the second half with a brilliant effort.

Sutton believes that Celtic and Scotland international goalkeeper Gordon – who earns £8000 per week as salary, according to The Daily Star – should have saved the effort from Hazard.
