His Brighton team are flying high at the top of the Championship in England.
He’s captaining them, and playing every week. And he’s exceeded his own expectations by becoming a Scotland player.
You’d struggle to find a member of Gordon Strachan’s squad who is feeling better about himself just now than Gordon Greer.
If positivity factor gets you a game next to Russell Martin in Georgia, the former Kilmarnock man will get the nod.
“We have started great this season at Brighton and it is brilliant be a part of it,” Greer said.
“I was surprised when I was called up for my first squad. I thought when I moved to England that was my opportunity gone. Thankfully for me, the team at Brighton did really well to get to the Championship and played really well there. Because of that, I was in the thoughts of the current manager which is an honour.
“I love coming away with the lads and we get on really well.
“First and foremost, I am honoured to be part of the squad but at the same time, I am keen to play. I will train as hard as I can and it is up to the manager at the end of the day. You have to respect his decision as to who he picks.”
With Christophe Berra injured, and Martin a definite starter, it would appear to be between Greer, Grant Hanley and Charlie Mulgrew for the second centre-half spot.
“I have played with both Grant and Russell. We train together and when you get the opportunity to play together it is great,” Greer said.
“The lads are good players, as are Christophe and Charlie, with whom I have played as well. You train together in the week of the game so it is not as if you are just thrown in at the deep end.
“There is good competition for places and a confidence within the squad. The lads get on really well and we will take the training into the games which will hopefully be enough for us to get the right results.”
Scotland are strong favourites to beat Georgia on Friday but recent cup experience has reminded Greer that a win in Tbilisi will be hard-earned.
“They are no mugs and have some good players,” he said.
“Everyone expects you to go there and turn them over but it isn’t as easy as that. We found that out in the Carling Cup with Brighton. We lost to Walsall when really we should be beating them. Teams are up for it, it is 11 v 11 so it is never going be easy.
“We played the World Cup winners just after they won the World Cup and when you look back, we might have got something from it. We are a good side and we will be doing everything we can to get the right result.”
