Scotland: Gordon to be oldest player at World Cup but Gunn handed No 1

Advertisements

Scotland goalkeeper Craig Gordon will be the oldest player at the World Cup this summer, but the 43-year-old has not been handed the number one shirt.

Following the submission of each of the 48 nations’ official squad lists, Gordon will wear number 21, with fellow goalkeepers Angus Gunn and Liam Kelly assigned numbers one and 12 respectively.

Manchester United’s Tyler Fletcher has taken number eight after the teenage midfielder became a surprise replacement for the injured Billy Gilmour on Sunday.

Striker Lyndon Dykes will wear Scotland’s number nine, fellow forward Che Adams number 10, and Lawrence Shankland number 20.

It remains to be seen how much those choices hint at the thinking of head coach Steve Clarke regarding his starting line-up, with centre-back Grant Hanley given number five.

Scotland have travelled to the US and will play their final World Cup warm-up game against Bolivia – live on the BBC – on Saturday at 21:00 BST.

They will then kick off their tournament schedule the following weekend against Haiti in Boston on Sunday 14 June (02:00) before facing Morocco and Brazil.
