John McGinn on his 50th Scotland cap as Hibs hero revels in Hampden night he'll 'never forget'

John McGinn says he won't forget Scotland's 2-1 win over the Republic of Ireland in a hurry after the Hibs' 2016 hero made his way into the nation's Hall of Fame.

The midfielder made more Hampden history on Saturday night as he pulled on his nation's colours for the 50th time in a crucial Nations League Group B success. John Egan had put the away side ahead but Steve Clarke's men fought back to win through Jack Hendry and Ryan Christie goals.

It's another milestone moment for the midfielder, who lifted the Scottish Cup with Hibs in Mount Florida over six years ago, having been named captain at Premier League club Aston Villa by Steven Gerrard over the summer. Next up for the nation is Ukraine on Tuesday.
