Having most recently been thrashed 8-0 by the Netherlands thanks to goals from the likes of Liverpool’s Virgil Van Dijk, Aston Villa’s Donyell Malen, Spurs defender Mickey van der Ven and RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons.
Now officially eligible for Malta, Brimmer’s first game for The Reds could come in September when their World Cup qualification campaign continues with an away trip to Lithuania.
Following that Malta then have a home clash against the Netherlands before facing Bosnia and Herzegovina in an international friendly clash.
