Dream maker Fraz now a Standard bearer in Belgium

IT sounds like the start of a mind-boggling football quiz question.

When an Ivorian, two Ghanians and a Northern Irishman all hit huge goals for their clubs within a few hours of each other last Sunday what was the link?

The answer is a Scotsman plying his trade in Belgium.

Few outside Scottish coaching circles will have heard of Frazer Robertson but the former St Mirren academy coach is tearing it up at Standard Liege under Carl Hoefkens and Yaya Toure.

The 42-year-old moved to the Jupiler League club last season to work with ex-Celtic boss Ronny Deila after two years at Philadelphia Union.

But it's the eight years before that, working for the Right To Dream football academy in Ghana, which brings us back to the riddle and explains why the 42-year-old from Johnstone was feeling a huge sense of pride on Sunday evening.

First came Ivory Coast ace Simon Adingra's opener for Brighton in the 2-2 Premier League draw with Liverpool.
