But he’s adamant that he doesn’t feel the pressure.

He’s determined not to let it be a burden that holds him back.

The teenager admits it affected him before, maybe at Parkhead when he broke through.

But Gannon Doak says the lessons he’s learned at Liverpool with some of the world’s best players will keep his feet firmly on the ground.

He was terrific on Monday night in Scotland’s 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Belarus in Hungary.

He tormented one full-back so much, he had to be replaced at half-time.

But Gannon Doak won’t get carried away.

I don’t want to let the praise or stick affect me.

“It’s about keeping my head in the game, that’s all you can do.

“I don’t really feel the pressure, I don’t look at all that stuff.

I’m getting to do what I love.”

Gannon Doak looked in the mood against Belarus right from the off in Zalaegerszeg the other night.

Constantly being fed by his former Anfield team-mate Andy Robertson, he needed no encouragement to drive at the home defence.

Poor right-back Sergei Karpovich might have needed therapy at the break after being kept inside, as Belarus tried to contain the youngster.

Gannon Doak made a big contribution to Scotland’s steady start in qualifying, picking up four points out of six in Group C.

He said: “You get a feeling and you grow into the game.

It depends on how the full-back feels as well but I try not to look too deep into stuff like that.

“I just focus on myself and my own game.

If you get one wrong, you need to think in your head - the next time that happens, I’m going to do this or that.

“It’s just a matter of experience.

“I’m always disappointed not to play a game of football.

I have to accept it.”

Certainly, when the Greeks come to Glasgow next month, Gannon Doak will expect to be in the side.

The Tartan Army will want him out there too.
