Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon will play again this season, according to The Scottish Sun.

Gordon is on the sidelines at the moment due to a medial ligament injury he suffered against Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership last month.

It has been reported by The Scottish Sun that the Scotland international should be fit and ready for action by April.

The 35-year-old former Heart of Midlothian and Sunderland goalkeeper reportedly met a top London knee specialist recently.

Boost for Celtic, bad for Scott Bain?

Gordon has made mistakes from time to time, but there is no doubt that the Scotsman is the best goalkeeper at Celtic.

The 35-year-old’s (reported) return to action by April is a boost to Brendan Rodgers’s side, but it is bad for Scott Bain.

The 26-year-old goalkeeper joined the Hoops on loan from Dundee on January transfer window.

The former Aberdeen prospect was signed as a short-term replacement for Gordon, but it seems that he already has his work cut out in order to establish himself in the first team.

Dorus de Vries is a good goalkeeper, and Bain will have to work hard between now and April in order to impress manager Rodgers and earn a permanent contract, as he recently suggested to The Daily Record he wants to.
