Scots have more to offer says Mcginn
The best is yet to come for Scotland, says midfielder John Mcginn after the 1-0 victory over Luxembourg extended Scotland’s positive run of form – and sent the national team to the European Championships on the back of a win.

That run stretches back more than a year and a half and was extended by two warm-up matches for the Euros which have been “spot on” according to Aston Villa middle man Mcginn, inset – despite disruption in the camp with John Fleck’s positive covid test result.
He said: “The preparation hasbeenspoton.wehadabit of an interruption during the week but we stuck to the protocols and made sure everyone is safe.
“It is unfortunate Flecky had to miss out but we made sure we did the right thing because the most important thing is having as many people as we can fit and healthy for Monday [when Scotland playtheczechrepublicto open their Euro 2020 campaign at Hampden].
