Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he's a fan of Aston Villa's John McGinn.

Klopp says McGinn can ease the pressure on under-fire Scotland skipper Andrew Robertson.

Speaking to the Daily Record, Klopp said: “I heard everyone expected to beat Russia and the first question in my mind was 'Why?'They have five million more football players than Scotland!

“And Belgium? Well, 95 per cent of the world will lose to them.

“Scotland isn't blessed enough to have 20 players from Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh who are all world-class talents.

“But they have always had a big heart, proper fight, a good defence and could score a goal. At Liverpool we have to create a situation where our team can perform and Scotland have got to do the same.

“Expectations are too high. It's not because of Robbo you don't win. As a left-back, you can't win a game alone. It's just not possible.

“He doesn't have to though because you have other good guys – John McGinn, what a super player he is, Robert Snodgrass, a wonderful player, Scott McTominay has great potential. So let them play and let the manager have time to create a style of play, a Scottish style.

“But don't put the manager under pressure to deliver something so immediately that he can't live up to it."
