News'Calvin looked very composed - he'll be pleased with the 30 minutes'
Calvin Ramsay had cause to be pleased with his half-hour outing for Liverpool U21s this week, explained team head coach Barry Lewtas.
Summer signing Ramsay took another step in his return to full fitness with a substitute appearance in Tuesday night’s Papa Johns Trophy tie against Accrington Stanley.
The right-back, who awaits his senior debut for the Reds having had to overcome injury since joining from Aberdeen, marked the occasion with a goal too.
He smartly finished a rebound off his left foot inside the penalty area in added time to cap an encouraging display across his 30 minutes on the pitch.

Assessing Ramsay’s performance following the 3-2 defeat - which saw Ben Doak also score in the final minutes as Liverpool came from three goals behind - Lewtas told the Liverpool Echo: “He was excited, which is good. This is part of what this group is here for as well.
“I thought he looked very composed when he came on. He was one of the players who, when we were under pressure, put his foot on the ball and got us playing. He supported the attack and weighed in with a goal. He’s going to be pleased.
“We had a feeling during the week that there was a chance of him maybe being involved, so we knew there was a chance.
“He’s been training with the first team but I’d met him a couple of times and he comes across as a really good kid. It was great to have him with us and I think he will have enjoyed his first 30 minutes.”
