The two Tartan Army heroes reacted to a sobering night in Munich that left the nation deflated.
Bruised Callum McGregor has admitted to feeling ‘embarrassed’ and ‘angered’ by Scotland’s feeble showing during the mauling in Munich, writes Keith Jackson in Germany.
“That is what hurts the most. You can go and you can play well and still lose to Germany. Let’s make no bones about it, they are a top team and they will be there or thereabouts to win this tournament. Asked if there was also an element of anger over the abject standard of Scotland’s performance McGregor nodded: “There is, aye.” And he admits the Swiss and the Hungarians will now see Scotland as a potential soft touch in the group.
“So it’s now about what you’ve got inside. You want to rectify that and put it right. So for sure the next 48 hours will be really important.” McGinn is well aware that Friday night’s debacle was nowhere near good enough - and a long way from a brilliant qualifying campaign which included wins over Spain and Norway. Defensively, Clarke’s side toiled against the Germans who could have scored more than five.
