Watch as former Hibs ace John McGinn scores his first Scotland goal against Russia
McGinn, now playing for Aston Villa in the English Premier League after helping them to promotion from the Championship via the play-offs, reacted quickest after Russian goalkeeper Guilherme Marinato spilled Ryan Fraser's cross under pressure from Oli McBurnie.
The 24-year-old won his 16th cap as he lined up at Hampden against Stanislav Cherchesov's side, with the Scots needing a win to keep their Euro 2020 hopes alive.
