Is Angus Gunn answer to Scotland’s goalkeeping dilemma?

Gunn returns to the squad for these friendlies and seems likely to start despite currently being a free agent after leaving Norwich City.

With 15 caps, the 29-year-old was first choice at Euro 2024 before injury struck, allowing Gordon, 42, to reclaim his spot. Now it’s his chance to turn the tables.

Uncapped duo Robby McCrorie and Cieran Slicker provide back-up, with the latter having played just 10 minutes as a substitute for Ipswich Town all season.

McCrorie made 20 Premiership starts for Kilmarnock, while the majority of Scottish top-flight goalkeepers come from other countries.

Other recent squad members, such as Rangers’ Liam Kelly and Zander Clark at Hearts, are also lacking game time.

“I wouldn’t say there has been an issue,” Gunn said on Tuesday. “I think the nation’s been blessed with top goalkeepers for many years. Things happen in cycles.

“The three guys here training with us this week all look top-quality young keepers, but it’s about experience and game time in big games.

“I was quite inexperienced when I came into the squad. Playing at the Euros was a big learning curve for me and a big opportunity.

“Only things like that can help and benefit goalkeepers and without experience you’re not going to get any better.”
