Scottish media’s response to Aston Villa player John McGinn’s performance against Switzerland during the Euro

 

Scotland drew 1-1 with Switzerland on Wednesday night, maintaining their hopes of making it to the Euro 2024 knockout rounds.

Scotland knew they needed to at least draw with the Swiss to have a chance against Hungary in their final group match on Sunday after losing the tournament opener 5-1 to the hosts Germany.

As important to Aston Villa as he is to his nation, John McGinn began his 67th cap for Scotland as a second striker.

After a deflected goal from Scott McTominay gave Scotland an early lead, things didn’t go according to plan for Steve Clarke’s team.

However, just 13 minutes later, Xherdan Shaqiri capitalized on a sloppy pass from Anthony Ralston to bring them back.
