Reaction'I just go for the win and try to do my best' - Ben Doak on shining for Scotland

The Liverpool attacker, who is currently on loan at Middlesbrough, was named Player of the Match in his country’s 1-0 UEFA Nations League win at Hampden Park.

Doak played a vital part in the game’s deciding moment on 86 minutes, surging in from the flank and firing the ball across goal, which was parried out and finished by teammate John McGinn.

“Before the game there was a bit of butterflies, a bit of nerves,” said the 19-year-old. “But once you’re on the pitch, I don’t know if it’s the same for everyone else but I don’t see names or faces.

“I just see another team there to try to beat us so we need to go and try to beat them. When I’m on the ball I don’t notice who I’m against, it’s just a kit. That’s all I see. So, I just try to do my best.”

Doak, making his fifth senior international appearance, was afforded an ovation from the home supporters when he was then substituted in stoppage time.

“I just thought they did that for every sub!” he said with a smile.

“It’s nice getting a round of applause but I don’t really look too much into that. If it was a wee bit extra then great, I really appreciate the support of all the fans.”
