GORDON BACKS KEANO


Craig Gordon has supported Roy Keane after the Irishman has been linked with a move to Hibs. Gordon remembers the good times at Sunderland under Keano, and spoke about the impact it would have on Scottish football as a whole.


EDINBURGH

"I think it would be brilliant for Scottish football in terms of the stature that he would bring, and the press attention that he would bring not only to Hibs, but to Edinburgh as well."


SAFC ACHIEVEMENT

"I think he could be a very good manager, he proved that early on at Sunderland when he got them promoted [to the Premier League] and kept them in the league. You look where Sunderland are now. Maybe people didn’t think that was a huge achievement at the time, it actually was. To be able to do that, to get them promoted and keep them in the league for the whole time he was there…so, yeah, I would love it, let’s see if it happens."


LOVE IT

“I’ve got nothing but good things to say. I would love it if he came to Edinburgh, I think it would be great.”


SPIRIT

"There’s obviously been a couple of clubs where it hasn’t worked out for him, for whatever reason. But certainly while at Sunderland the spirit in that team to stay in that league, the amount of late goals that we got to get a draw or get a win that scraped us by to get enough points to stay in the league was a huge achievement."
