Stephen Halliday: Return of Scott McTominay can boost Scotland’s Euro hopes
Manchester United midfielder McTominay’s return to action after a two-month injury lay-off gathered pace with an impressive display and sweetly taken goal in the 5-0 Europa League demolition of Bruges.
It is a measure of the 23-year-old’s progress that his recent absence was lamented so keenly by the United support. McTominay, inset, will hopefully be back to optimum form and fitness by the time Scotland’s Euro 2020 play-off semi-final against Israel at Hampden comes around in just over three weeks’ time.
If John McGinn can make a similarly positive comeback with Aston Villa, then Clarke’s outlook will be altogether more optimistic.
