Gordon Philosophical In Defeat

While the knee-jerk reaction of most of his countrymen was to scream bloody murder over the highly debatable call that led to Panucci’s 91st minute goal, Gordon was able to see the whole picture. "In the first half we got a bit of luck when they scored and it was ruled offside,” admitted the highly rated Sunderland shotstopper, who produced a world class save to deny Massimo Ambrosini in the buildup to that incident.
"We thought it might be one of those days when we would get a bit of luck and it took us until the last minute to prove us wrong,” the youngster added.
"We've done well in the section but when you look at the quality we were up against it was always going to take something special."
Gordon concluded by encouraging 37-year-old defender David Weir to resist retiring form his international career on such a low.
"Davie can go on as long as he wants,” he insisted.
"It's up to him but as long as he is playing for Rangers I think he should be a stalwart in the Scotland team."
