After scoring the goal against Haiti which gave Scotland their first World Cup win since 1990, John McGinn says the squad are not getting ahead of themselves as they meet Morocco on Friday.<\/p>\n

“There is a business feel in the camp,” the Aston Villa midfielder said. <\/p>\n

“We were gutted after Germany (Euro 2024). I know the fans had a great experience, just being back at a major tournament with fans. <\/p>\n

“But we left with an emptiness and feeling of could we have done x, y or z differently.<\/p>\n

“What we did now by winning the (qualifying) group was we had time to prepare properly and in the best possible way. <\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve left no stone unturned and the staff have been first class. The players are focussed on doing the job in hand. <\/p>\n

“If we do achieve something special we will celebrate it, but until that is achieved we will purely be on business here.”<\/p>\n
