It’s been a testing period for the Aston Villacaptain, who is normally one of the first names on the team sheet but since returning from his injury, he hasn’t played with the same intensity.
nai Emery perhaps controversially left John McGinn out of the starting XI in the defeat to Liverpool, though the Scottish midfielder was introduced at half-time for the injured Jacob Ramsey.
McGinn’s role for the Scotland national is usually one of importance too, although for their Nations League clash against Croatia on Friday night, the 30-year-old started on the bench.
However, in typical McGinn fashion, he made Steve Clarke regret that decision after he made a telling impact from the bench.
It’s been a difficult Nations League campaign for Scotland, who are in a group with Portugal, Croatia and Poland.
Clarke’s men found themselves rooted to the bottom of the table on just a point and destined for relegation to League B however, McGinn’s goal late on against 10-men Croatia put them level on points with third-place Poland.
So, heading into their final game against the Poles, Scotland must win to finish in third and guarantee a spot in the relegation play-offs.
