There is much more to John McGinn than just desire and commitment, according to former Scotland manager Alex McLeish.
The midfielder will take centre stage on Sunday as Aston Villa fight for their Premier League lives against West Ham United in London but it would be a mistake to see McGinn as all energy and no finesse.
McGinn has won plaudits south of the border for the aggression and drive he brings to Dean Smith's midfield but, while those characteristics form a key part of the player's make-up, McLeish was keen to point out they supplement the talent that was always there.
