C. Gordon is a 43-year-old goalkeeper at Heart Of Midlothian, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 3 appearances, a Season grade of 11. On long-term scout potential he's rated 5.4. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (22.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gordon.

On the season, Gordon graded 11 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet across 3 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 11). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 5. At 43 Gordon is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.

1 clean sheet in 3 appearances (33% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 43, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 5.4 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
