Ben Doak Celtic and Liverpool transfer tangle makes sense as he lays on stunning Scotland assist

He's the starlet that could have a potential to be a game changer but Celtic have a tough ask on their hands to keep hold of the excellent Ben Doak.

The 16-year-old is wanted by Liverpool with the Echo claiming Jurgen Klopp's side are closing in on the switch.

And a recent clip shows exactly why they want him after laying it on a plate for his Scotland team-mate against Czech Republic.

The Under-17s clash took place at the Falkirk Stadium on Wednesday afternoon with the spoils shared in a 2-2 draw to open their Elite Round Euros qualifier.

Things were looking grim when the Czechs took a two-goal lead but Doak inspired the fightback when he spun his marker and went on a sensational run before slipping a perfect through ball for Rangers' Rory Wilson to finish.

And it was then Doak who also instigated the move that led to the leveller, again finished off by the clinical Wilson.

Though Celtic are scrambling to keep their young talent there's good news when it comes to another Lennoxtown prospect.

Playmaker Daniel Kelly is set to sign his first professional contract on a three-year deal this week.
