JURGEN KLOPP has piled praise on former Celtic youngster Ben Doak following an impressive debut for Liverpool in the league cup last night.
The Scotland youth international, 16, came on as a second-half substitute at Anfield as the Reds defeated Derby County via a penalty shootout.
Former Aberdeen youngster Calvin Ramsay also featured and the pair impressed their manager with their displays.
“That’s Ben,” Klopp explained after the match. “His instructions were easy: do what you do all the time.
“He is really a lively boy, a smart player, good dribbler, fast, can use both legs. He’s good. It was nice to watch, really nice to watch – him coming in and immediately a lot of things are obviously natural to him, which is really helpful.
“I am pretty sure his family was here tonight. I can remember when I saw the family at the AXA when we signed the boy, how excited everybody was. Now having this night, it’s the next step, it’s cool. He showed up, obviously.”
