Scotland goalkeeper 43-year-old Gordon is retiring after appearing as the oldest player at the FIFA World Cup 2026. Multiple reports note that he ends an international career that began with his Scotland debut in 2004. Over that period, he plays 84 times for Scotland, ranking him fifth on the national team’s all-time appearance list. The coverage describes his retirement as the conclusion of a long spell representing Scotland at international level, with his World Cup 2026 status highlighted as the capstone of his final tournament. While the reports focus on his age and record at the World Cup, they also consistently point to his long-term involvement with the Scotland squad and his number of caps over nearly two decades. Sources do not provide additional details on immediate next steps or replacement plans for Scotland in goal, but they agree on the key facts: his age, his role as Scotland’s goalkeeper, his World Cup 2026 distinction, and his overall record of 84 Scotland appearances.
