Craig Gordon’s Late Heroics Seal 10-Man Hearts’ Win at Dundee, Keep Leaders Out Front

The 43-year-old’s return underscored Hearts’ resolve in a title race that now has them three points clear of Rangers with Celtic further back.

Overview

  • Claudio Braga struck from the edge of the box after Cammy Devlin’s quickly taken free-kick, which Dundee protested for position and a moving ball.
  • Goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow was sent off on VAR review for denying Tony Yogane a goalscoring opportunity just before half-time.
  • Gordon, making his first Hearts appearance of the season, produced a stoppage-time save to thwart Emile Acquah and preserve the 1-0 victory.
  • The result leaves Hearts on 47 points, three ahead of Rangers—who have played one game more—with Celtic a further three behind.
  • Dundee, aiming for a fourth successive league win and having taken points off Rangers and Celtic this season, could not capitalize on their numerical advantage.
