How Calvin Ramsay's dream transfer to Liverpool has rapidly became a nightmare as ex Aberdeen kid stuck in limbo

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Aberdeen full back Calvin Ramsay hit the jackpot in June 2022 when he landed a dream move to Premier League giants Liverpool.The then 18-year-old had only broken into the Dons first team at the start of the previous season, but scooped up the SFWA Young Player of the Year after making 33 appearances in all competitions.

Those displays convinced Anfield boss Jurgen Klopp to fork out an initial £4million - with the potential of an additional £2.5m in add ons - to sign the teenager, the most Aberdeen had ever received for a player at the time, which has since been eclipsed by Bojan Miovski's £6.5million switch to Girona last summer.Ramsay was always going to be up against it in trying to force his way into the first team picture on Merseyside but arrived at the club with an undiagnosed back problem that kept him out of action for the first three months of the season.

After working his way back to fitness with Liverpool's U23 side, Ramsay was handed a first team debut by Klopp as a late substitute in a Champions League tie against Napoli and followed it up with a solid 90 minute display in the EFL Cup win over Derby.Those performances caught the eye of Scotland gaffer Steve Clarke, with Ramsay earning a call-up to the senior squad in November 2022.

The defender won his first and only cap so far when he was introduced as a half-time substitute in a 2-1 friendly defeat to Turkey, with the hope that he could be become another viable option to the national team at right back.But nearly three years on from his fantasy move to Anfield, countless injury setbacks have seen things spiral downhill for the young Scot.
