The 34-year-old has re-established himself as no.1 for club and country after a rough patch of form, and has replied to comments made by Chris Sutton.

Craig Gordon has hit back at Chris Sutton, following his criticism of the Celtic goalkeeper.

Gordon has said that he feels Sutton has been unfair in his comments, and has accused the pundit of waging a campaign of negativity against him.

"It’s his opinion," Gordon said. "But he focuses rather a lot on the negatives, rather than anything positive. It’s more of a campaign."

"He had his mind made up very early on. He is trying to make everything fit his early statements. That’s his job as a pundit.

"My record against any other Celtic goalkeeper would stand up in terms of wins. The last time I lost a domestic game was against Aberdeen about a year-and-a-half ago.

"I think he goes over the top at times and I know I’m not the only one to perceive that. 

"There are other guys in our squad who receive as much, if not more, criticism than me. I’m not sure it’s a personal thing, but it seems to be."
