The arrival of teenage Scottish defender Calvin Ramsay at Liverpool this summer continues a long and successful association between Anfield and north of the border.
The 18-year-old right-back will be glad to hear a familiar accent across the dressing room (and potentially across the back four) with his compatriot Andy Robertson having long established himself as a key component of Jurgen Klopp’s side and one of the finest left backs in Europe since his own low-key move from Hull City five years ago.
It’s a welcome addition also for supporters of a certain vintage who were brought up seeing a strong smattering of Tartan through the glory years of the 60s, 70s and 80s, with it often being said many of the best Liverpool sides featured a strong Scottish influence.
