Aston Villa captain McGinn shrugs off Scotland injury

Aston Villa captain John McGinn shrugged off a knock collected in Scotland's Euro qualifying draw against Norway.

McGinn scored on the night, but hobbled off with ten minutes remaining.

However, the midfielder didn't mention the injury post-match: "The campaign's been amazing. I'm just so proud of the way the boys have handled it.

"We have a team and a group of players that the country are so proud of and I think that showed at the end.

"I think the punters were a bit surprised we had actually qualified, it had a strange atmosphere, but it's hopefully one we can get used to."
