MEANWHILE, the Buddies were last night still awaiting paperwork from Wycombe Wanderers to complete the signing of their former player Stephen McGinn.

The 28-year-old midfielder, who can also play at left-back, is expected to complete his move back to the club today after training with the squad yesterday.

Ross said: “Stephen and I have played with each other and I’ve known him for a long time, and he was really keen to come to us.

“He’s got an affinity with the club through his own time and through his family, and I think he wants to help us out of this position and drive us forward.” SCOTLAND and England have been drawn together in the latest European Under-21 Championsh­ip qualifying campaign.

Both teams will also face Holland, Ukraine, Latvia and Andorra in the qualifiers for the 2019 finals.

The first Auld Enemy clash will take place in England on October 6 this year with the return fixture rounding off the campaign in October 2018.

The teams last met at Bramall Lane in August 2013 when an England side managed by full national team boss Roy Hodgson ran out 6-0 winners. Nathan Redmond, Raheem Sterling, Connor Wickham, Ross Barkley, Jonjo Shelvey and Tom Carroll were on target.

Northern Ireland will face Spain, Slovakia, Iceland, Albania and Estonia, while Wales will have to emerge from a group containing Portugal, Switzerlan­d, Romania, Bosnia & Herzegovin­a and Liechtenst­ein. Republic of Ireland’s opponents are Germany, Israel, Norway, Azerbaijan and Kosovo.

The nine group winners qualify along with hosts Italy and two teams who emerge from play-offs featuring the four best runners-up.
