Aston Villa captain John McGinn has reached 90 senior Scotland caps after starting Saturday’s Nations League opener against Slovenia.
McGinn went into the international break on 89 appearances, with the Scottish FA’s official player profile also crediting him with 21 goals and 10 assists.
Sébastien Pocognoli named the Villa midfielder in his starting XI in Ljubljana, confirming another major milestone in a Scotland career that began in March 2016.
John McGinn reaches 90 Scotland appearances
McGinn started behind forwards Oli McBurnie and Robbie Ure as Pocognoli began his first match in charge of Scotland.
The UEFA match centre is following the Nations League Group B1 opener, with Scotland beginning a four-game international window before McGinn returns to Aston Villa.
His latest milestone strengthens an international career that has now lasted more than a decade.
McGinn remains Scotland’s vice-captain and one of the most experienced players in Pocognoli’s refreshed squad.
