Craig Gordon announces his retirement from football after being named in Scotland’s World Cup squad at the age of 43. Multiple outlets report that the goalkeeper reaches the World Cup squad selection stage late in his career, highlighting his continued presence at the highest level of international competition. Following the squad announcement, Gordon steps away from the sport rather than continuing beyond that milestone. The reports focus on the timeline of his retirement in relation to his late-career inclusion in Scotland’s World Cup team, with both sources noting his age at the time of selection. No additional details about a new club, coaching role, or specific retirement date are included in the provided excerpts. The accounts therefore present the same core information: Gordon remains active enough to earn a World Cup squad place at 43 and then retires from professional football afterward.
