Ben Doak is "really enjoying" playing first team football with Middlesbrough after the Scotland internationalist had a key role in their 5-1 thrashing of Luton Town on Saturday.
Doak may only be 19-years-old, yet the Celtic youth academy graduate is taking to senior football like a duck to water, having penned a season-long loan deal at The Riverside Stadium from Liverpool this summer.
He provided two assists during the rout of Luton in the English Championship, earning a 8.9/10 rating by FotMob for his impressive performance.
That followed up an 8.4 worthy showing, which included a sublime assist, against Queens Park Rangers a few days earlier.
Doak will now join up with Steve Clarke's Scotland squad for their upcoming UEFA Nations League double-header versus Croatia and Poland.

“It was great, and I think it was about time we put four or five goals in," the winger told Middlesbrough's in-house media prior over the weekend.
"It’s been coming - the amount of chances we create as a team. The game midweek and then this one, it’s more than what we deserve. It’s a terrific six points going into the international break.
"I’m really enjoying my football playing with these lot. I’m really starting to build a connection with a lot of the lads - they know my strengths and are doing a really good job of catering to them.
"I’m absolutely loving it. Every young lad just wants to play footie, it doesn’t matter what level. I’m lucky to be playing for such a good team and at such a good club.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
