The Celtic man came under fire on Saturday, and Chris Sutton adds to the criticism.

Celtic's Craig Gordon gestures

hris Sutton has said on Twitter that Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers should sign a new goalkeeper this summer after claiming Craig Gordon was at fault for both of England’s goals in Saturday’s thrilling 2-2 draw with Scotland at Hampden Park.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain broke the deadlock on 70 minutes when his left-footed drive was parried into the net by the possibly unsighted Celtic stopper.

Two stunning free kicks from Scottish hitman Leigh Griffiths within the final three minutes flipped the game on its head, but Harry Kane equalised in the dying stages with a fine volley which beat Gordon at his near post.

The 34-year-old keeper has come under fire for his performance, and Celtic legend Sutton certainly weighed in by suggesting that Rodgers should sign a new goalkeeper during the summer transfer window.

Rodgers brought Dorus De Vries to Parkhead last summer and the Dutchman briefly held the number one shirt, before Gordon, to his credit, won it back off him.

The Hoops do need a new stopper, but that is not to say that the former Sunderland man deserves replacing. He helped Celtic to a domestic treble this past season and the veteran will feel like the jersey is his to lose.
