Ben Gannon-Doak #17

Profile

Gannon-Doak recently revealed how he reconnected with religion after leaving home as a 16-year-old to join Liverpool. “I think God just keeps you grounded and humble because he always tells us that we wouldn't have any of this without him,” he said. “I heavily rely on God to keep me strong.” Gannon-Doak excelled in Celtic’s youth system before being coaxed to Anfield. Jürgen Klopp was a fan. However, a combination of injuries and Klopp’s exit stalled the winger’s progress. He then opted to kickstart his career at Bournemouth. Steve Clarke has sought to temper excitement around Gannon-Doak but the noise is understandable. This player can be a genuine difference-maker for the Scots. He has directness and electric pace, which on one Nations League evening against Croatia visibly terrified £77m full back Josko Gvardiol.
