Ben Doak: What will Liverpool's 'Scottish Rooney' bring to Scotland's Euro 2024 squad
Eighteen years old. Just 12 games and 332 minutes played in senior football. No league starts and no action since December.
The balloon started to deflate, along it seemed with hopes of a potential Euro 2024 call-up, when a season-ending injury ruled the Celtic academy product out of the final five months of the 2023-2024 campaign. Speaking to BBC Scotland in 2022, former Celtic full-back Jackie McNamara - Doak's agent - referred to the teenager as "a Scottish Rooney" and said he had “never seen anything like Ben".
"My whole thing was for Celtic, show the kid you're going to keep him," the former Scotland defender said. On the Premier League club's pursuit of Doak, McNamara added: "When Ben went down to visit Liverpool, Klopp said: 'Ah Ben, I've seen your stuff'.Tommy McIntyre, former Celtic B team manager, said the way in which Doak "approached things was incredible".After lighting up the Uefa Youth League, Doak made his Liverpool debut against Derby in the League Cup in November 2022, then featured in the Premier League for the first time at Aston Villa a month later.
