John McGinn double saves Scotland’s blushes against North Macedonia

A special occasion for Andy Robertson saw Scotland flirt with embarrassment. Collection of his 102nd cap moves him level with Kenny Dalglish in the all-time Scottish list. Robertson will soon be a record holder. This was, however, John McGinn’s night. A double from McGinn, the second a penalty, spared Scottish blushes against a North Macedonia team who threatened to administer red faces to those in navy blue.
