John McGinn says he loves to wind Rangers legend Ally McCoist up after he surpassed his Scotland goal tally.
McCoist bagged 19 in 61 national team appearances, but McGinn's winner against Croatia last year meant he overtook the 62-year-old and moved up to fifth in the all-time list of Scotland scorers.
The attack-minded midfielder is now behind only Denis Law, Kenny Dalglish, Hughie Gallacher and Lawrie Reilly after surpassing McCoist, whom he loves to joke with: "It's a motivation to be among those names," said McGinn.

"I like to wind Ally McCoist up a wee bit about it when I see him.
"If I had to choose the team winning over me scoring, I would.
"But I sort of have it in the back of my mind as something that is achievable."
Scotland face Greece in the first leg of their UEFA Nations League A play-off tomorrow evening.
Rangers men John Souttar and Liam Kelly have been called up by Steve Clarke this month.
Souttar was particularly impressive during the last international break, proving a crucial performer as Scotland beat Croatia and Poland back-to-back.
The central defender will look to have a similarly pivotal impact against Ivan Jovanovic's side as the Scots look to keep their place at the top table of the Nations League.
