Liam Craig Gordon (born 26 January 1996) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a defender for St Johnstone.

Career

Gordon played for Dundee and Raith Rovers at youth level before John McGlynn took him to Hearts on a three-year contract, spending six months on loan at Arbroath in the process.

He signed for his boyhood heroes St Johnstone in 2015 and spent a short time on loan at Elgin City.[1] He made his debut for the club in May 2016, starting in a 2–2 draw against Hearts.[2]

In January 2017, Gordon, along with fellow Saints defender Aaron Comrie, moved on loan to Scottish League One side Peterhead until the end of the 2016–17 season.[3]

In July 2019, he was ruled out for up to six weeks after he fractured his elbow in training.[4]
