JOHN McGINN reckons he’s going to have a ball in the Champions League as he finally gets a crack at the competition that had him hooked as a Celtic fan.
The Aston Villa hero will make his bow in Europe’s top tier tonight as Unai Emery’s men take to the greatest stage of all for the first time in 41 years when they face Young Boys in Switzerland.
Then he’ll square up with the Hoops in the Midlands after Christmas. McGinn will get a kick from facing superstars at iconic stadiums – but even more so from the Champions League clobber.
The Scotland favourite said: “Everyone talks about wanting to hear the anthem – and I’m no different – but I’m more excited to be playing with the bibs and the balls.
“I’ve watched the Celtic lads wear them for years. I’m not joking! We got them for the first time after the Everton game on Sunday morning.
“I can’t tell you how proud and happy that made me.”
