Steve Clarke insists he has nothing to do with John McGinn producing the goods for Scotland.
The Aston Villa man was on target to send the Scots on their way to a first win in an opening European Championship qualifying game since 2006. McGinn netted his 16th Scotland goal to go with the six assists he has, all of which have come under Clarke. Scott McTominay came off the bench to bag a brace to seal the points before a frustrated Cyprus went down to ten men.
There's no doubting McGinn's status as the main man for his country. The fans love him, as do his teammates and he keeps going from strength to strength in dark blue. If we are to make it Germany next year, he'll have played a massive part. Clarke too, although boss is taking zero credit for McGinn's international impact: "It's got nothing to do with me!" He told Viaplay Sports. "I just put him in the team and he does what he does.
