John McGinn tells Scotland pals to 'create history' as he looks to end Spain's 28 GAME home winning streak

John McGinn knows he could be sitting with his Scotland mates on Sunday praying Spain do them a favour by knocking Norway out the Euro qualifying campaign – ensuring a place in Germany for Steve Clarke ’s squad.

But he’d much rather the Scots did their own dirty work in the Estadio Carjuna tonight. The Aston Villa midfielder knows the magnitude of the task.

“We know it’s not going to be easy. They’ll be hurting after the last game, 100 percent. We know we need a big, big performance, the same way it was at Hampden to get anything out of the game.

“But it’s a nice position to be in and we want to do the job ourselves, definitely. As a group we have managed to create history on a few occasions and we don’t want to stop there.
