Now ex-Scotland boss Craig Levein has heaped praise and put a lot of pressure on Doak.

He said, per The Sun: “It’s maybe a bit early to say this but this kid could be a world class player. 

“And I think Steve (Clarke) knows that as well.

“When you have pace like that, there are very few defenders who when you square them up one v one, they can deal with you. 

“He’s proven that this evening, even the top defenders in the world - he can go past them at a whim. 

“Just imagine when he’s had three or four years, he’ll be even quicker and will have more confidence. 

“He will have ten times more confidence then too."
