Usually, it’s friendlies, but this time we’ve got playoffs—it’s a lot more serious. Great to see the boys again, especially some new faces and those returning." 🆕 New Faces in the Squad 🔹 Lennon Miller & James Wilson join the senior squad 🔹 Scotland U17 players train with the first team for experience 🔹 George Hall’s first call-up after switching allegiance from England 🗣️ McGinn on young players stepping up: "We had some U17s training with us today, and it made me feel old! But it’s great to see them getting a chance. Lennon and James are here to compete, not just make up the numbers. If they’re good enough, they’ll push for a place, and that’s how it should be." 💪 Leadership Role – Welcoming Young Players McGinn remembers his own early experiences joining the senior team and now plays a key role in helping young players settle in. 🗣️ "I remember my first time—Darren Fletcher, Russell Martin, and the older boys made me feel welcome, but guys like Alan Hutton and Scott Brown were a bit scarier! Now, it’s my job to make the young lads feel part of the squad while keeping them grounded." 🏆 Lennon Miller’s Confidence – A Positive Mindset? Miller recently made headlines with his self-assured comments, stating that he believes he can become Scotland’s best player. McGinn sees no problem with this mentality. 🗣️ "I’m sure Lennon probably thought, ‘Why did I say that?’ But honestly, it’s a good attitude." 🏴‍☠️ Scotland’s Captain Andy Robertson & Liverpool’s Cup Final Loss Liverpool’s Carabao Cup Final defeat was tough for Robertson, but McGinn believes his experience will help him move on quickly. 🗣️ "We were gutted for him, but Robbo has won so much in his career. " 🏟️ Scotland vs Greece – A Must-Win for Nations League Survival Scotland face a tough test in Greece, needing victory to remain in Nations League A. 🔹 Greece have lost just one home match in four years (against England) 🔹 The atmosphere in Greece will be hostile, something McGinn has experienced at club level 🔹 Scotland have proven they can compete at this level, but need to show consistency 🗣️ McGinn on the importance of staying in League A: "We want to keep competing at this level. We’ve shown we belong here, and now we have an extra chance to prove it." 🏋️ Kieran Tierney’s Return & Injury Setbacks Tierney is back in the squad after a long injury spell, and McGinn is delighted to have him back. 🗣️ "KT’s one of the best players in Scotland, if not Britain." On his unlucky injury history: "He never seems to get a bit of luck. It’s always something serious. Losing him at the Euros was a big blow, but now he’s back, fit, and firing, which is brilliant for us." 🚀 New Striking Option – Exciting Addition for Scotland? McGinn discusses the potential impact of Scotland’s latest attacking recruit, George Hall, who has switched from England to Scotland. 🗣️ "He’s a big lad, he’ll look after himself in games, and he’s got a real presence up front." 🔥 Ben Doak’s Absence – Adjusting Scotland’s Attack Doak has been ruled out with injury, leaving Scotland without his blistering pace. 🗣️ "We were lucky to have Ben in the last couple of games—he gave us something different." 📅 Scotland’s Must-Win Playoff – What’s at Stake? Scotland’s future in the Nations League’s top tier depends on this result. 🔹 Staying in League A means competing against Europe’s best teams 🔹 McGinn’s experience in Greece gives him insight into the hostile atmosphere 🔹 A win would keep Scotland at the highest level and benefit the national team’s long-term growth 🗣️ "I know how tough it is in Greece—I played in that stadium when we lost a European semi-final. It’s a great atmosphere, but we’re ready for it." 💬 YOUR THOUGHTS? 📢 Can Scotland get the win in Greece? 📢 How excited are you to see young talents like Lennon Miller and George Hall in the squad? 📢 Will Kieran Tierney’s return be a game-changer for Scotland? 👇 Drop your predictions & opinions in the comments! 🔔 Subscribe for more exclusive Scotland content & match previews!
