Stakes high for McGinn and Co
JOHN MCGINN vowed Scotland will give “absolutely everything” to realise their World Cup dream tomorrow night after emerging from a chaotic 90 minutes in Greece.
Steve Clarke's side needed some heroics from keeper Craig Gordon to keep them in the game in Piraeus in the 42-year-old's first match in six months - but still ended up three goals down before launching a fightback.
They fell short in a 3-2 defeat but midfielder McGinn and his teammates then discovered Group C leaders Denmark had been held 2-2 at home by Belarus.
It means Scotland now have the chance to leapfrog the Danes and avoid the playoffs when they host the top seeds at Hampden in the deciding game.
