During a period of injury to John Brough, Gordon was signed on loan from Stirling Albion. His first game was in a great 5-1 victory at Somerset Park which endeared him to the fans. Played in only two games but made a great impact and there were calls for him to be signed permanently. Stirling's first-team keeper, he was recalled to Annfield and from there joined Dumbarton and then Raith Rovers.
