John McGinn has been tipped to start in Scotland's World Cup opener against Haiti in place of Ryan Christie by former international team-mate Ryan Jack. Aston Villa 31-year-old McGinn started on the bench in Saturday's 4-0 win over Bolivia, replacing his Bouremouth counterpart on the left of a midfield four after the break. "For me, John is going to play," Esenler Erokspor midfielder Jack, who was part of Steve Clarke's squad for the Euro 2024 finals, told BBC Radio Scotland Breakfast.
