The Scotland hero and boyhood Hoops fan is set to make his debut in Uefa's premier competition
John McGinn reckons he’s going to have a ball in the Champions League as he finally gets a crack at the competition that had him hooked as a Celtic fan.
McGinn reckons tonight will be even more special as he feared his number up at Villa when the new manager arrived. The midfielder will never forget the conversation with Emery that opened the door for him to the Champions League. “I was thinking, ‘Why has he watched 20 games of mine?’ I thought my time was up. A few games later, we played Brentford and won convincingly. I remember thinking: ‘I’m not going to be part of this.’ I thought I was finished. You start hearing from other clubs you might be available and you think: ‘What? Am I?’ But he saw something I didn’t see myself. From there, he worked with me tirelessly. I never looked back.
