CRAIG GORDON insists it's "brilliant" to be back at Hearts following his Celtic exit.
Gordon, 37, linked up with the Jambos for a second time today after announcing his Parkhead exit yesterday.
The Scotland international goalie joined Robbie Neilson's side on a two-year deal and he spoke of his delight at getting the deal over the line when speaking to Hearts TV earlier this morning.
He said: "It's brilliant to come back here after so long.
"The last time I signed here was 1999 so it's been a long time but I'm very happy to be back and I can't wait to get started.
"It's been a difficult decision to put everything into place to come back here.
"When I spoke to Hearts and the history that I have here, something that I've always wanted to do was to come back.
"I have this opportunity now, it's the start of something where we really feel as if we have a project to move on with.
"The feel-good factor of the club is starting to come back and everybody is united to get us back to where we should be.
"I want to be part of that and I absolutely can't wait.
"I've seen a few familiar faces already today so it's great to be back and get to know everybody else.
"It's a special place. It's where I grew up, where I came supporting as a boy, to play out here and to come back to feel that support when fans are allowed back in again is going to be really special."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
