THE HOLS OF FAME

Doohan: I took middle of night call in Turkey and was on plane to join up with Scotland squad before half my family woke up

- BY SCOTT BURNS

ROSS DOOHAN has been living the dream after flying to Scotland's aid before fellow family holiday-goers had awoken from theirs.

The soon-to-be returning Celtic keeper made his debut for the national team in Vaduz on Monday evening inside 72 hours of even getting a call-up. A 4-0 friendly victory over Liechtenstein capped a whirlwind few days for the 27-year-old who had been on a family getaway in Turkey when he answered an SOS.

Doohan missed the first call because he was in his bed and then was awakened at 1.20am as Steve Clarke scrambled to find a fit and available No.1 following two going down a few hours earlier at home to Iceland.

The keeper had to wake his parents up in the middle of the night but others with them were oblivious until the morning, by which time he was already on a flight back to Glasgow.

His international record reads one cap, one clean sheet as Doohan said: “It's a great feeling after that, obviously.

“It was a whirlwind couple of days, being on holiday with my family in Turkey when I got the call.

“It was Friday night UK time but it was Saturday morning in Turkey I got the first call. Twenty past one... I was in my bed so the number came up.
