Scotland are due to face the Danes in Copenhagen on Wednesday. McGinn isn’t expected to be out of isolation until Thursday.

He tweeted: “Disappointed to miss out on the last 2 matches and Wednesday night with a positive Covid test. Thankfully no symptoms and feeling fine. See you all soon.”

Scotland also face Moldova and Austria and McGinn could return for those fixtures.
