It's gearing up to be a monumental night in Mount Florida as Scotland welcome Spain this evening. A place as outright leaders of Group A in Euro qualifying is at stake. And with Super John McGinn in goalscoring form after taking his international tally to 16 against Cyprus, the Tartan Army are confident. Well some of them are.
Neil Renton, Edinburgh, said: “John McGinn deserves a statue outside Hampden. He’s the best Scottish player of his generation and could easily walk into top international sides.” David Kirkpatrick, Glasgow, added: “Steve Clarke deserves huge credit for the transformation of McGinn into a Scotland goal machine. He saw the value of moving him into a more advanced midfield role and McGinn is now potentially our most dangerous player. If he and the likes of Andy Robertson, Kieran Tierney, Callum McGregor and Stuart Armstrong hit top gear against Spain it could be a famous night.”
Right, that’s enough positivity. After our U21s, U18s and U17s were all dumped by Wales last week, Paddy Gowans emailed: “Let's face it Scotland's young guys don't get a chance at their clubs due to all the foreigners. So long as this continues we will be also rans. What will Spain do to us?”
