Jim Goodwin insists the sky's the limit for Liverpool starlet Leighton Clarkson after watching his new signing write his name up in lights as Aberdeen dismantled ten man St Mirren.
The Dons boss secured the services of the 20-year-old midfielder by pushing through a loan deal on Saturday morning before throwing him into action as 12th minute substitute for the injured Hayden Coulson. A double for Bojan Miovski and Clarkson wonder strike as well as a late Duk strike did the damage despite Jonah Ayunga's consolation penalty for the Buddies who had Declan Gallagher red carded.
But it was Clarkson who shone on his debut and he was given a glowing report by Goodwin. He said: “If he has ambitions to go and play for the Liverpool first team, then he’s got to come here and play and excel. It was a really quick turnaround from Leighton. He came up the road last night from Liverpool and his mum and dad drove his car up. Myself and the director of football and medical team were at Cormack Park until about 10pm getting everything sorted.
