Dundee manager Docherty calm over prospect of Beck Liverpool recall

Dundee manager Tony Docherty has no concerns about Liverpool recalling left-back Owen Beck.

The Reds have lost Andy Robertson for months, as the Scotland international suffered a dislocated shoulder.

While Beck has started well in the Scottish Premiership, Docherty insists he isn't worried about losing the youngster.

“You keep an eye on all developments. That's the way it works with loan players," said Docherty.

“You give them a platform to do well for themselves but also for Dundee Football Club.

“And if they do well, of course they will attract attention from either their parent club or elsewhere. But I'm not worried about it. It is something I'm aware of.

“Owen is doing exceptionally well and with international recognition as well, it wouldn't be a surprise if people are talking about him.

“But he's such a grounded boy and is very popular here. I think he enjoys playing here – the football side of it and the camaraderie in the dressing room as well."
