Young Celt gets his big international chance replacing Sevco flop
Ross Doohan has been drafted into the Scotland u-21 side to face England tonight at Tynecastle.
The 20-year-old has been in outstanding form for Championship leaders Ayr United and replaces Bobbie McCrorie in goals after the Sevco starlet turned in a nightmare performance away to Ukraine.
While Doohan has made 15 appearances this season for Ayr United McCrorie has played one competitive match this season at club level- a 2-1 defeat against Falkirk in the Irn Bru Cup.

Scotland’s 3-1 defeat to Ukraine ended their qualification hopes with the match against England as tough a test as there is in under-age football.
Aidy Boothroyd’s side can call upon some of the top young talent in the EPL with Dominic Solanke and Tammy Abraham leading the strike force.
Scotland lost 3-1 to England last October at the Riverside Stadium in Middlesbrough.
Lewis Morgan, who opened the scoring against Ukraine, is the other Celtic player in the Scotland side.
