Gordon pens new Celtic deal

Gordon went on to enjoy an outstanding campaign where he helped the club to win a league and league cup double, and was rewarded with the writers’ Player of the Year gong at the end of season awards.

The 32-year-old joined the club last summer and quickly established himself as Celtic’s number one following Fraser Forster’s departure to Southampton.

The former Sunderland goalkeeper is delighted to have committed his future to the Bhoys and explained to the club’s official site: “I am absolutely delighted to extend my contract with Celtic, such a fantastic football club. I have enjoyed my first year immensely at Celtic“, Gordon told Celtic’s website.

Celtic captain Scott Brown congratulates Craig Gordon for his performance in the 1-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb.

Celtic manager Ronny Deila claims that the club is “lucky” to have Craig Gordon following the goalkeeper’s decision to sign a new contract.

Celtic face Azerbaijani champions Qarabag in the first leg of their penultimate round of Champions League qualifying on Wednesday before beginning the defence of the Scottish title against Ross County on Saturday.

The Scotland global originally agreed a two-year deal with the option of a further 12 months but he has now added an additional season to his contract.

The keeper’s fine form between the sticks for Celtic saw him earn a recall to Gordon Strachan’s Scotland squad earlier this year.
