Everton youngster Nathan Patterson knew he had to be one of the takers in a penalty shootout against Celtic.
The young Scot, who arrived at Everton from Rangers last season, played the full 90 minutes in a 0-0 friendly in Australia.
However, he was eager to take a penalty to help his side, not least because he was playing against Rangers' bitter rivals Celtic.
Post-game, Everton boss Frank Lampard said: "He was with his Rangers links. I was more than happy for him to take it.
"I like lads who stand up. Patts has got some character. He is a good lad and nicely competitive."
He added: "Patts was really good for us at the start of the season. Then he got an injury while playing with Scotland and since he has come back in, he has still been finding his feet to get back to those levels but as a young player that is normal. He needs to push on now. I thought he did well with bits today but there were a couple of bits that he could be cleaner on, but he is a really good player for us.
"I was always confident about the attacking side of his game, but as a young player I wanted to see him defensively. At the start of the season it was spot-on and I think he really needs to continue focusing on that side of it. Today, the challenge that was put to him against a player who has got a lot of ability to go either way. I thought he defended pretty well."
