Craig Gordon reckons Hearts Scottish Cup win as captain would eclipse Celtic success

Craig Gordon believes lifting the Scottish Cup as Hearts captain would eclipse any success he had with Celtic.

The goalkeeper has been a standout for the Jambos this season.

As a veteran he has done plenty in his career including winning quadruple Treble with Celts and playing in Europe and for his country.

But the Gorgie favourite reckons nothing would outdo winning the silverware with his boyhood heroes.

The experienced goalkeeper said: “I have been very lucky, I have won a lot of cup finals in my career.

But to actually do it as a captain for your boyhood club, I don’t think it would get much better than that.

“There are not many Hearts captains who have lifted the Scottish Cup, and I would absolutely love to be one and get my hands on it.”

On his Premiership campaign, the stopper wants to finish third and in style.

"We want to get into the last four and give ourselves an opportunity to do something really special this season," Gordon adds.

“It’s already been a good season in terms of the league, we have still got a lot to finish off there.

"But certainly, to get to a semi final or final would really make it a pretty special season here. It’s one we really want to win.”
