Ross capped off a week of firsts as he made his Northern Ireland senior debut in the away defeat to Finland on Friday evening.
The 20-year-old impressed sufficiently to be voted Man of the Match by supporters, before the Green and White Army were treated to a 2-0 home triumph over Denmark to conclude their European Championships qualifying campaign.
The attacker will be keen to continue his involvement in Philippe Clement’s first-team as domestic action resumes this weekend with a trip to face Aberdeen.
