Celtic fans have been reacting to an interview posted last night by TalkSport.
Craig Gordon spoke to David Tanner about his future and how he was unhappy with the way Celtic had dealt with his contract talks. The player did say there was still more talks scheduled but made it clear there was an offer from Hearts on the table which was very interesting.
Celtic have offered him much reduced terms but at this stage in his career, Craig is seen as a backup and not a first team player.
Supporters have been discussing the interview and whether Craig has shot himself in the foot by going public. He’s technically not a Celtic player so he can’t be reprimanded for talking about negotiations but it has certainly rubbed some the wrong way.
We would be surprised after this interview if the goalkeeper was to re-sign for the club.
Here is some of the reaction on social media.
Craig Gordon owes Celtic nothing, came in on a free deal and done excellent for majority of his time. At the same time Celtic owe Craig Gordon nothing either, gave him his chance back in big time football. If it doesn't suit either party or stay cut ties and just move on.

If Craig Gordon is on his way to Hearts surely that means we’re as good as sorted with Fraser Forster for next season? ??

Craig Gordon was a very solid keeper for us. Played a huge part in our recent success. Good luck to him in whatever he decides.

Before watching this, I had a lot of respect for Craig Gordon.
Think the manner of this interview is cheap and personally I wouldn't welcome him another contract extension at Celtic. https://t.co/96hza9i9We
