It is set to be a summer of change for the keeper, who this evening was handed his Scotland debut. 

Called up to the national team amid a goalkeeping crisis, Doohan got the nod away to Liechtenstein for an international friendly. 

Boss Clarke was asked what he said to the keeper pre-match: “Go out and do what you do and be the goalkeeper you are, that’s all you can say,” he revealed [BBC Scotland]. 

Scotland are currently 1-0 up in Vaduz thanks to an early goal from striker Che Adams. 

They are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Iceland at Hampden last Friday evening. 

Elsewhere, Celtic striker Joey Dawson has signed for Scunthorpe United. 

The frontman joined the Parkhead side in 2021. 

Dawson went on to make one senior appearance in green and white. 

His move to Scunthorpe, whom he initially joined Celtic from four years ago, was confirmed on Monday afternoon: “I’m buzzing to be back, this is my home and it’s where I grew up, so to finally be back is just an amazing feeling,” said Dawson [scunthorpe-united.co.uk]. 

“I can only say good things about my time at Celtic. I feel like I’ve come back a better player, bigger and stronger so I’m just looking forward to hitting the ground running.”
