John McGinn had possibly his greatest-ever night as a footballer, but then received a thud back down to earth.The Scotland talisman played his part in one of the most astonishing football matches in the country’s history, downing Denmark 4-2 to reach the 2026 World Cup.McGinn was able to celebrate Scotland’s triumph, but not before an annoying check outside the dressing roomAFP With the score 2-2 at 90 minutes, Scotland were heading for the play-offs before a remarkable Kieran Tierney strike and then a Kenny McLean insurance goal from the halfway line.The stoppage time scenes provoked wild celebration at Hampden Park and across the nation, but McGinn may have been one of the only 5.5million Scots who then had to hit pause.Speaking to the BBC post-match, he was told to go and enjoy the dressing room scenes, but then explained why he wasn’t even allowed in.“I’m drugs testing, it’s always me!” he said to much laughter. “I must have a look about me!”Later posting on his Instagram story, he shared an annoyed selfie and wrote: “Drug test not allowed in the changing room can’t write it.”Despite the annoyance, the Aston Villa man did later get a moment he’ll savour, taking his children out on the pitch to celebrate with the home support.The win ensured Scotland’s first World Cup since 1998, with a number of near-misses in between, including a play-off defeat ahead of Qatar 2022.What did McGinn say about Scotland’s success?The Tartan Army’s campaign hasn’t been an easy one with constant criticism of their performances, but as McGinn explained, team spirit won out in the end.“I thought we were pretty rubbish to be honest, but who cares?” he began when talking post-match. “Denmark with ten men, they moved the ball a bit better and looked more assured but we’ve had a lot of trauma as a Scotland team, a lot of hits, and tonight to get it over the line was such an amazing feeling.McGinn revealed he wasn’t allowed into the dressing room when speaking post-matchBBCInstagramHe then shared his misfortune with his Instagram followers[/caption]“The gaffer’s [Steve Clarke] teamtalk was exceptional before we left the hotel. What we’ve been through together as players and staff has been outstanding. “It’s a privilege every time we meet up, it’s just humble guys that want to do well for their country and you can see it on the pitch. “We left absolutely everything out there and a few wonder goals but we’re going to a World Cup and I just can’t believe it.”Discussing what was going through his head with the score 2-2 at 90 minutes and the play-offs beckoning, McGinn added: “I was thinking about the play-offs in the 91st minute. “I was thinking ‘oh no, not again’ but my shot was actually going in and it hit Granty’s backside, but then what a strike from KT and it’s just a feeling. “I will never ever feel like that on a football park again.”
