‘He’s never…’ John McGinn’s brother sends clear message about Celtic star at Euro 2024

Several Celtic stars will be hoping to make history with Scotland at Euro 2024 on Sunday after a very difficult opening.

Steve Clarke’s side can become the first Scottish side in history to progress to the knockout stages of a major tournament if they beat Hungary and other results go their way.

Celtic captain Callum McGregor took a lot of stick for his performance in the opening game against Germany, whilst Anthony Ralston’s unfortunate back pass was punished by Xherdan Shaqiri and Switzerland.

Either way, the Celtic duo have been showing a lot of fighting spirit, with the likes of Andy Robertson, John McGinn, Scott McTominay and the returning Billy Gilmour, to name a few, showing what they do best.

Yes, it wasn’t a win for Clarke and his players against the Swiss, but it was still a point and a very hard-fought one that has given them belief that they can beat Hungary.

Stephen McGinn, the brother of midfielder John, was keen to highlight the type of character Ralston is, at both club and international level.

The former Falkirk captain stated that Ralston made a ‘big mistake’ last time out, but he had a ‘really, really good second half’.

He added by saying that the Celtic fullback is ‘never going to be the best right-back that plays for Celtic’, but he feels, when it matters most, ‘Ralston stands up to be counted’, as he told Go Radio.

You feel all of that, and a little bit more, is going to be needed in the final group game of Euro 2024 and in what is one of Scotland’s biggest games ever.

“I think also Anthony Ralston makes a big mistake,” said McGinn. “I thought he had a really, really good second half.
