Aston Villa’s John McGinn netted a hat-trick for Scotland at the weekend, with the Scots easily getting past world football minnows San Marino at Hampden Park.
The Scot continued his superb club form for his country, and Villa fans were quick to jump on Twitter to praise the midfielder.
However, Villa fans were also quick to mock Celtic, after the Hoops decided against making a move for the midfielder when he was at Hibernian.

Twitter: @Ebouestunes @ScotlandNT No they aren’t, they wouldn’t even make a championship team. Way overrated by Celtic fans… https://t.co/8PIctkt5lj (@UpTheVilla_AVFC)
Read ASton Villa’s verdict
Hindsight is a powerful thing, but Celtic not making a move for McGinn now looks like a huge mistake.
The midfielder has been superb since moving to Aston Villa and his form for club and country has been superb as of late.
£2.5 million would have been a steal for Celtic, and they must be kicking themselves that they didn’t make a move.
