Gordon not fazed by Elvis

Hearts captain Craig Gordon has urged his team-mates to ignore the fact that former Jambos skipper Steven Pressley will line up against them for Celtic at the weekend.
Pressley left Tynecastle after criticising the way the Edinburgh club was being run by majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov.
The Scotland international was frozen out of the first team before agreeing a mutual termination of his contract in December.
Pressley signed for Celtic three weeks later and will be in the champions' ranks when they travel to Hearts on Sunday.
"It will feel strange to see Steven on Sunday but we need three points," Gordon told the club's official website.
"We have been on a run of good form recently and we hope to continue with that regardless of who is playing for Celtic.
"I don't think we will go into the game fearing them at all. We will look to defend the way we have been and keep things tight."
