Scotland match-winner John McGinn is optimistic his team can go on to reach the World Cup knockout stages for the very first time after marking their return to the tournament following a 28-year absence with a 1-0 win over Haiti on Saturday.

A deflected strike from the Aston Villa midfielder in the first half saw Scotland claim victory in their Group C opener. McGinn later said: “It was crucial. This was our pressure game, we were favourites going in.”
