What channel is Hearts v Sunderland on? TV, live stream details for Craig Gordon testimonial at Tynecastle
Full details ahead of Craig Gordon’s testimonial clash between Hearts and Sunderland at Tynecastle this weekend.
Hearts will take a break from Premier Sports Cup action as they celebrate the outstanding career of iconic goalkeeper Craig Gordon with a special testimonial game against Sunderland at Tynecastle this weekend.
Revered as one of the club’s greatest-ever goalkeepers, the 42-year-old will welcome his former club to Gorgie for a clash in the capital in order to allow Hearts to commemorate his 23-year career, which has included over 300 appearances for the Jambos over two spells at the club, and 81 caps for Scotland.
The teams’ first pre-season meeting in five years, the Black Cats will make the journey across the border as an English Premier League side following their 2-1 win over Sheffield United in the EFL Championship playoff final in May, and Hearts head coach Derek McInnes admits he is looking forward to the challenge of facing Regis Le Bris’ top flight side.
“It's a testimonial for Craig and both clubs are here to honour him,” said McInnes. “At the start and end it will feel like that for Craig, but once the ball rolls it will feel like a proper game. Scotland v England, a Premier League team coming up and thinking back as a player, you would love to pitch yourself against them. I think it will be a really good test for us.”
