Scotland boss Steve Clarke was in attendance as Doak netted for the Under-21s against Hungary.
All eyes were on Doak and Clarke left minutes after the Liverpool youngster's substitution on the hour mark amid speculation about a potential call-up to the senior squad for the friendly with France in midweek.
The second half was a subdued affair as Scotland defended resolutely to secure all three points and they’ll be confident of bolstering their qualification hopes with another win over Malta on Tuesday night. “Everybody is excited to see Ben developing. We all agree he is doing really well and his potential is enormous. We all have a massive responsibility to help him fulfil that potential.
"The game was in the balance at that point before halftime. But you have to remember these are very young players and it was a great experience for them to play in games where they sense that and have to deal with that. You have to step up and push, fight and play hard and they did that." The 21-year-old looked eager to impress and he added his second just four minutes later. Max Johnston delivered a pinpoint cross from the right and Bowie rose highest to bullet a header home.Fulham’s Ibane Bowat and Celtic’s Matthew Anderson are impressing in Austria and Bayern Munich’s Liam Morrison is a regular at Wigan Athletic.
Doak danced past one defender inside the box before being clipped by another and referee Joey Kooij showed no hesitation in pointing to the spot.
