John McGinn heaps praise on Kieran Tierney after brilliant Scotland display

Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn heaped praise on Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney following his impressive display for Scotland against Faroe Islands last night.

Tierney played on the left side of a back three for Scotland in yesterday’s World Cup qualifier, but he made regular overlapping runs on the left flank.

He provided two delightful crosses for McGinn, who scored in either half while delivering a long pass for Che Adams, who bagged his maiden goal for his country.

Steve Clarke’s side eventually went on to win by a 4-0 scoreline, and McGinn was full of praise for compatriot Tierney, who produced a brilliant individual performance.
