Scotland midfielder John McGinn has insisted rising star Lennon Miller might regret saying he could become his country’s best player — but threw down the gauntlet to the Motherwell skipper to back up his words.
John Carver, Steve Clarke’s assistant coach, had already slapped down the 18-year-old who, after receiving first call-up to the Scotland senior squad, said: ‘I’m obviously not going to go in and be the best player there, but I believe I could maybe in a couple of months be the best player there.’
Carver said the comment was a ‘mistake’ and showed Miller needed ‘a little bit of guidance’.
