Tommy Conway unsurprised Ben Doak is backing up his off-field patter

TOMMY Conway was unsurprised to see Middlesbrough wide boy Ben Doak back up his off-field patter with a standout performance on it in the win over Croatia – and now he’s hoping his club mate can build on his stellar showing and help him score his first goal for Scotland.

Doak, the Liverpool teenager who is on loan at Riverside Stadium this season, was outstanding for the national team in their Nations League match at a packed Hampden on Friday evening.

The former Celtic winger was involved in the build-up to the strike which substitute John McGinn, the Tartan Army hero who he kept out of the starting line-up, scored with four minutes of regulation time remaining.

Striker Conway, who started up front for Steve Clarke’s side in the Group A1 fixture, has enjoyed teaming up with the confident player in the English Championship this term and was always confident his fellow “Boro boy” could justify his selection.
