McGinn reckons fans will be as proud as they are raging after another difficult international break
John McGinn reassured fans Scotland aren't deluding themselves into thinking everything is rosey amid their horror run of results. But he's adamant they WILL get there if they turn in more performances like Portugal and Poland.
He told the Scotland social media channels: "Obviously a sickener at the end but much more like us in terms of level of performance, desire, commitment. I don't think many people gave us a chance of getting anything from the game and the way we competed for 90-plus minutes was brilliant. We were up against a top-class team.
"I think this camp was about getting back together, trying to build something a bit fresh. I know the starting team wasn't as fresh as people probably would have thought or envisioned but these boys are getting experience to come and try and help us. The players who came on were excellent again. I think the supporters wanted a reaction from the summer. There's no getting away from how disappointing it was. But I'm sure they will be proud of us.

The former St Mirren and Hibs star player is desperate to get back to winning ways when Scotland visit Croatia and host Portugal next month. "We don't want to be too positive in terms of it's another defeat," he said. "We know that. But we are coming into the top division on the back of our own success, getting ourselves here.
