John McGinn reckons taking out Norway was even bigger than the sinking of Spain.
The win over Rodri and Co at Hampden was massive but the midfielder thinks that coming out on top in Oslo eclipsed that. He points to the fact that the victory was away from home and was very much a team effort, with the subs coming on and playing a major part in the win through late goals from Lyndon Dykes and Kenny McLean. It leaves Scotland well clear on top of Group A and a home win against Georgia tomorrow could leave them sitting pretty at the halfway point of this Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.
McGinn claimed: “It’s definitely bigger in terms of the group. The group came up on the big screens when they were 1-0 up and at that point it was wide open, so for us to turn that around the way we did is huge. But we need to back it up with another big result against Georgia. Hampden will be bouncing and we need to be right up for it. Georgia are a decent team and their win on Saturday night takes them above Norway, so they’re not going to be easy.”
The Aston Villa star praised the substitutions Steve Clarke made for turning a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 win, adding: “We need to give a big shout-out to the substitutes, because they were phenomenal.
“Before then, it was a really poor performance from us on the ball, on as hot a night as I can ever remember playing in. We went behind and had to respond but it wasn’t really happening until Kenny, Billy and Stu all came on and changed the game. Kenny’s so under-rated and there was never any doubt he was going to stick it away when the ball came to him.
“It was a really good goal. I don’t know how big Scott McTominay saw me from out on the right, but he pinged a great ball, Dykesy blocked off their defender

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Sooner or later, Ethan Hunt will face a mission he really ought not to accept. But for the time being, he remains the one man on earth willing to attempt the impossible without questioning the motives of those who require his services. That’s the deal with America’s most dutiful boy scout, Tom Cruise, who’s carried the billion-dollar “Mission: Impossible” franchise across 27 years without losing steam. Compare that with Indiana Jones, who’s failed to connect with a younger generation, or the Fast and Furious movies, which aren’t running out of gas so much as guzzling the laughing sort. “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” finds Cruise, now in his sixties, still running from one side of a very big, very wide screen to the other as if his life — and the lives of all 8 billion people on earth — depended on it. This is Hunt’s seventh blockbuster outing, with a last franchise-capper set to release next summer, and while it can’t eclipse what came before (“Fallout” was the series high), director Christopher McQuarrie delivers a formidable concept and several hall-of-fame set-pieces while somehow also managing to tie the storylines back into these movies’ core mythology.
