Craig Gordon hit yet another career milestone last night as he made his 700th senior appearance.
The Hearts No1 was on international duty as he retained his starting position for Scotland in the friendly showdown with Turkey on the road. Steve Clarke's men took in a clash during the window pre-World Cup with neither side reaching Qatar.
The personal highlight won't be one the veteran goalie will remember in a hurry as the Dark Blues went down 2-1 with former English Premier League duo Ozan Kabak and Cengiz Under on target for the home side either side of half-time. John McGinn grabbed one back for the visitors to set up a big ending however the home side held firm to secure the win.

The 39-year-old has been in stunning form for Hearts this season as Robbie Neilson's men competed in European group stage football alongside domestic matters in the first half of the season.
The Jambos picked up two wins in their Europa Conference League section with home and away wins over group bottom seeds RFS.
All focus will now be on finishing third once again behind Celtic and Rangers to guarantee themselves another European adventure and the financial benefits that come with it. They trail Aberdeen by four points going into the World Cup break.
Gordon has already made it clear he wants to continue playing for years to come and you wouldn't rule him out reaching the 800 mark.
Marking his 700th senior appearance, Hearts wrote on Twitter: "Congratulations Craig Gordon on your 700th senior appearance!"
