CHEER GOGGLES

SCOTLAND football hero John McGinn has revealed the reason for his famous goggles goal celebration - it's a tribute to his nephew.

The Aston Villa captain first began using the celebration - where he flips his hands upside down on his head in a shape resembling goggles - in 2021.

It has baffled fans since but the 29-year-old former Hibs player said yesterday he does it for youngster Jack who has to wear goggles playing football.

McGinn - who has 60 caps and 17 goals for his country - added: "It is for my nephew Jack who has poor eyesight, and he has to wear the goggles to play football.

"I decided it would maybe give him a bit of support to put the goggles on when I score so now, he's happy."
