Gemmill will have Doak with the under 21s fir a little longer but knows he's destoined for greater things with Steve Clarke's boys.
Scot Gemmill was at Everton when Wayne Rooney exploded onto the scene at Goodison at the age of 16 back in 2002.
No, any player who is good enough to get into Jurgen Klopp’s plans three months before he turns 18 is heading for Clarke’s squad sooner rather than later. And Gemmill is genuinely thrilled about it. “It’s really exciting to see a player have that ambition and mentality. I was lucky enough to be at Everton when Wayne Rooney broke through at 16 and there are similarities, for sure. Undoubtedly you can see they have that speed and sharpness.
“I think the biggest thing is strength and speed. I don’t know what it’s like to have the speed Ben has. It is a super strength. But the main thing in my opinion is more than that – it’s his strength to be able to play against adults.
