John McGinn singled out by Tyrone Mings as he admits former Hibs star is 'annoying'

Tyrone Mings singled out former Hibs star John McGinn for praise after Scotland's goalless draw with England.

The now-Aston Villa midfielder was in typically dynamic form as Steve Clarke's side claimed a point to keep their Euro 2020 knockout stage hopes alive.

Scotland were particularly impressive in midfield, with McGinn partnering Celtic's Callum McGregor and Chelsea's Billy Gilmour.

His Villa team-mate Mings - who confessed his disappointment at the result - knows what the 26-year-old is all about, admitting he's "annoying" to play against.

"Disappointing of course because we know we can play better. The important thing for us as defender and as a team going forward into the tournament, we kept another clean sheet which is a positive.

"The intensity from back to front (was missing). I don't think they wanted it more than us but we were not fluid and dynamic as wanted to be.

"It was a great occasion and we wanted to win the game, the atmosphere was incredible but we take a point and a step closer to qualification which is our goal.

"There were only 20,000 in and it is a shame we could not get a win for the fans.

"It leaves us with four points and we know we might have enough. We want to win the game on Tuesday against the Czech Republic.

"John McGinn is an annoying player to play against, a great player and we should have done more tonight."
