Liverpool youngster Ben Doak is happy with the new chant that Scotland's fans have come up with for him after his breakthrough on the international scene.
Doak made his debut for Scotland during the September international break and has appeared for Steve Clarke's side in every match since then, registering a first assist for his country on Monday night as the team registered a vital 2-1 victory over Poland in the Nations League.
The chant for Doak had already been coined by the time the match kicked off in Warsaw, with members of the Tartan Army belting it out after the Croatia game last week, in which Doak produced a man-of-the-match performance.
It goes: “Ohhh super Ben Doak, he plays for Scotland, he runs the line, you’ll hear the Scotland sing, as he’s running down the wing, assisting [Lyndon] Dykes or [Che] Adams, and we’ll sing this song all night.”
Doak was asked about the chant after the win over Poland, which was secured by a stoppage-time header from Reds left-back Andy Robertson, and said he was a fan.
“I got sent it before the Poland game," Doak said.
"It’s quite a good chant, it’s decent.
I’m taking it game by game, that’s all I can do and it’s the best way.
“If you start looking two, three, four games ahead, you end up not performing as well as you could in the next one.
It’s one game at a time and hopefully I can keep producing some numbers.”
Doak has played in all six of Scotland's Nations League matches, starting in the last four, and is certainly reaping the benefits from deciding to leave Liverpool on loan over the summer.
The Scot has a goal and three assists in 10 appearances for Middlesbrough, and his direct wing-play and brilliant dribbling has caused problems for many a Championship full-back.
Arne Slot recently joked about recalling Doak in January and, although Boro were said to be relaxed about the comment from Liverpool's head coach, it was a sign that Slot had been taking notice of Doak's form on Teesside.
Scotland does not produce talents like Doak often, and the clamor for him to start every game for his country has grown and grown.
On the level of fan excitement that surrounds his potential, Doak said: “I’m not really aware of it.
I just figure that any time I get picked for the national team, I play my football and do my best.
“If I get a positive reaction from it, then great, but it’s not really that important.
