On loan winger Adam Hammill is hoping to play a starring role in the Scottish Cup final for Dunfermline as they face Celtic at Hampden Park in Glasgow this afternoon.
The Academy graduate has been earning rave reviews during his loan spell with Dunfermline this season, and has played a major part in helping the Pars reach the biggest showpiece event in Scottish football.
On the eve of the big game the 19-year-old admitted he can't wait for the match as he aims to show Rafael Benitez he is worthy of a chance at Anfield next season.
"I can't wait for the match, it is the biggest game of my career," enthused Hammill.
"I think we are underdogs, but all the pressure will be on Celtic. Everyone is looking forward to the game and morale in the camp is high. We will not be fazed and we want to grab our chance to win with both hands.
"My incentive is to show Liverpool that I am capable of making the breakthrough into the first team. Liverpool have been keeping tabs on me at Dunfermline and I hope they have been impressed with how I have done.
"There could be one or two players leaving this summer and that could increase my chances of establishing myself. I am going to have talks with the manager to find out what my future holds. I will respect whatever decision the manager makes.
"If I can't get a game at Liverpool I would be happy to go out on loan again as I have enjoyed my time at Dunfermline.
"No disrespect to reserve team football, but I want to be playing first team football and I have got a taste of that at Dunfermline and I have really enjoyed it.
"My priority after this final is to get my head down when I return to Liverpool, have a good pre-season and try and show I deserve a chance." (liverpoolfc.tv)
