Craig Gordon to RETURN to full training at Hearts next week after horror double leg break
CRAIG GORDON will rejoin full training at Hearts this week - less than nine months after his horror double leg break.
The Scotland keeper revealed he had already taken part in some drills with his Jambos team-mates ahead of their 2-0 win over Aberdeen.
Now the 41-year-old plans to step things up as he looks to return to contention for club and country.
Gordon has been out of action since suffering the injury at Tannadice on Christmas Eve.
He told Hearts TV: “I’ve had the gloves on this week in training, I have managed to join in with a couple of aspects of it.
“I’m looking towards joining in with a full training session next week, which is pretty exciting, I haven’t done that in a while.
