And it was a day to remember for King as he came on for the under-20s in the latter stages of the game.
The defender – who turns 15 in January – was named player of the tournament at last year’s JD Club Northern Ireland.
King has represented Scotland Under-16s and faced England at St George’s Park in August.
The youngster has also appeared for Gers’ under-19s after coming on as a late substitute in the 2-2 draw with Spartak Moscow earlier this month.
