Ronaldo is not the oldest player at the 2026 World Cup.

43-year-old goalkeeper Craig Gordon could set a record for the oldest player to feature in the 2026 World Cup.

Gordon is on track to set a record at the 2026 World Cup.

Among the 26-man Scotland squad for the 2026 World Cup, Gordon is one of the notable figures. Although not considered a strong contender for the starting goalkeeper position against Angus Gunn, the veteran goalkeeper is still seen as a crucial source of experience for his teammates in the national team.

Gordon's biggest career achievement came during his time at Sunderland from 2007 to 2012. The Scottish goalkeeper made 95 appearances for the English club and was once considered one of the most highly rated goalkeepers in the Premier League. However, his career also experienced its share of ups and downs due to serious injuries.

After leaving Sunderland in 2012, Gordon was sidelined for almost two years before making a comeback with Celtic in 2014. There, the goalkeeper, born in 1982, experienced a strong resurgence, winning numerous domestic titles, including five Scottish league titles, and regaining his place in the national team.

Gordon made his debut for Scotland in 2004 and now boasts over 80 caps for the national team. He is one of the most experienced goalkeepers in the history of Scottish football, having dedicated more than two decades to the national team.

Notably, Gordon is two years older than Cristiano Ronaldo. If they both participate in the 2026 World Cup, it will most likely be the last World Cup of their careers.

At this year's World Cup, Scotland is in Group C along with Haiti, Morocco, and Brazil. The European representatives will begin their journey with a match against Haiti on June 14th.
