The most recent round of international action may have been viewed with gritted teeth by those of a Celtic persuasion, as they were compelled to witness the striking performances of Ben Doak, one of the Old Firm side’s former assets.

The wing wizard, who had made only two appearances for the Hoops at the senior level, left for Liverpool in 2022 during Ange Postecoglou’s tenure.
