Elliott, who became the Premier League's youngest ever player when handed his top-flight debut by the Cottagers last season, featured as Liverpool were defeated 3-0 at a packed-out Murrayfield.

The starlet showed confidence on the ball from the off after replacing veteran midfielder James Milner in the 79th minute.

And in a post on Instagram the young winger shared an action shot from his debut with a short message, he wrote: "Dream come true!"

Team-mates Rhian Brewster and Bobby Duncan both replied to the post.

Brewster commented with two bicep emojis, while 18-year-old Duncan commented: "My broooo".

Speaking after the match Jurgen Klopp explained the decision to sign the highly-rated forward.
