McGinn breaks Villa record in Scotland win

John McGinn claimed an Aston Villa club record on Monday night when he won his 70^th Scotland cap as a Villan.

The club’s No.7 drew level with the 69 Olof Mellberg won for Sweden during his stint at Villa in the Scots’ 0-0 draw with Denmark last week.

And he now has the most international appearances as a Villan after featuring in their FIFA World Cup qualifying victory against Belarus.

McGinn played the full 90 minutes as he helped his country secure a 2-0 win.

The 30-year-old had a hand in the first goal, delivering a cross which led to the opening goal. 

An own goal in the second half wrapped up the three points, leaving Scotland second in Group C after two matches.

Elsewhere, Joe Gauci featured for Australia in a friendly on Tuesday morning.

The goalkeeper came on for the final four minutes as the Socceroos beat New Zealand 3-1 in Auckland.
