Ally McCoist in Scotland euphoria over John McGinn strike as he issues 'best in the world' tag

Impressed Ally McCoist reckons John McGinn's Scotland goal against Austria will be the best in the world this evening.

McGinn finished off a sweeping moved that saw skipper Andy Robertson and Kieran Tierney link-up to unlock the Vienna backline.

The Aston Villa midfielder's effort doubled the lead after Jack Hendry netted the opener for Steve Clarke's side.

However, Austria mounted an impressive fight-back with substitutes Michael Gregoritsch and Alessandro Schopf scoring to make it 2-2.

But Rangers hero McCoist wouldn't let the comeback dampen his spirits after the full-time whistle in the friendly clash.

He told Sky Sports when asked about the second goal: "Aw, it's brilliant.

"It's a lovely little give and go with Robertson. Tierney continues his run and it's a beautiful goal, it really is.

"I'll be surprised if we see a better goal this evening. Terrific football by the boys with the ball on the left-hand side.

"Two quality players obviously, Robertson and Tierney. The cut back for McGinn and the finish is magnificent."
