Fans delight as video shows recovering Hearts hero back on the training ground

Hearts fans received welcome news on Saturday afternoon after the club posted a video of Craig Gordon back on the training ground.

The club captain has been absent since the Christmas Eve draw with Dundee United at Tannadice after sustaining a double-leg break in a collision with Steven Fletcher.

Even after turning 40, the Scottish international is still thoroughly determined to make a full recovery and get back between the sticks for both club and country.

His progress has now hit the next stage as Hearts uploaded a video on Twitter of him going through passing routines at the club’s summer training base in Marbella.

Fans were delighted to see the club hero and 2022 SWFA Player of the Year inches closer to a return to action.
