Hibs star Ryan Porteous has been backed to shine for Scotland in their Nations League showdown with Ukraine - if he is given the nod.
Former Easter Road defender and team-mate of the stopper Paul McGinn had nothing but positive things to say of the 23-year-old ahead of tonight's crucial final game. Steve Clarke's men know they will win their League B section by avoiding defeat in Poland and with that secure promotion to the top tier of the competition.
The Dark Blues are suffering defensively with the likes of Grant Hanley, John Souttar and Liam Cooper already missing coupled up with injuries to Kieran Tierney, Scott McKenna and Scott McTominay. Declan Gallagher and Hearts' Stephen Kingsley have been recently called up to provide cover, but Motherwell ace McGinn reckons Porteous may have the edge to partner Jack Hendry due to being part of the original pool selected for the triple-header.
