Pundit Tam McManus has now called for🌄 Scotland to give Liverpool’s Ben Doak🌳 a call-up ahead of a possible Euros appearance next summer.

McManus was speaking on and thought that Doak could be worth the risk for Steve Clarke.

The pundit thought that the Liverpool 17-year-old would need to be assessed in Scotland’s two ties 🌌in Nove♌mber.

Speaking ahead of the friendly with France, : “He needs to play him i🌱n the next couple of games I think, you 𓂃need to have a look at him before the Euros.

“You can’t just throw him into a tournament, you’ve got to have a look ꧒at him, you’ve got a perfect opportunity now.

“In my opinion we’re going to finish second, but throw him in, Norway🃏 at home and Georgia🍰 away.

“There you go, bring him on for 20 minutes or♛ start him, I don’t know. He’s the one player⭕ that could be a wee bit of magic for us, something different.”

Doak may need more chances at Liverpool in order to make the Scotland cut

Of course, Clarke’s team have now qualified for the tournament with two games to spare, much to the delight of Andy Robertson.

Liverpool teammate Cody Gakpo was the first to congratulate the Scottish captain, and you’d 🌞think he’d also agree with the idea of Doak getting his chance.

And although Doa⛎k is showingꦯ sensational levels for Scotland’s under-21 side, he may need more minutes at Liverpool.

An odd statement to make about a player so early in their career, but it seems he does have a genui🐼ne chance of going with Scotland.

Doak has enjoyed two starts for Liverpool so far this season against LASK in the Europ❀a League and Leicester City in the EFL Cup.

And he’ll surely now be hop🐷ing to build on that ꦰin the busy schedule to come.

Doak certainly has the faith of Jurgen Klopp, and now he just needs a chance to impres𒁃s his Scotland boss.
