Mignolet filled in for Gordon for the weekend draw at Fulham after the former Hearts keeper missed out with a hamstring injury. Belgian ace Mignolet accepts Gordon will be recalled to the starting line-up for this weekend's clash with Bolton if he shakes off his latest injury problem. "I know Craig is a good goalkeeper, we work hard together and try to push each other," Mignolet told The Journal. "That's good. If I work hard, he works hard and we only get better. "If he plays the next game, I will support him and I think he'll support me if I stay in the team. When you're a professional football player, you have to be ready even when you're on the bench. It's easier if you focus yourself on every game. "When you come in, there's always some pressure on yourself because you know everybody is looking at you to see how you're doing. "I'm very happy that I kept a clean sheet."
