I can’t not cover this from yesterday – former Hibernian midfielder John McGinn’s start to life at Aston Villa couldn’t have gone much better given his performance levels and he’s quickly winning the crowd over.
Signed from Hibs over the summer for a reported £2.7million snip of a fee, the 23-year-old Scotland international has been seriously impressive in his seven appearances so far for the club, as although he’s yet to open his scoring account he has added two assists to his name so far and that can surely only be the start given what we’ve seen from him.
I have little interest in computer games these days – I’m getting old – but McGinn took to social media yesterday to celebrate a new release, and not only is he a baller, he clearly has a sense of humour.

I’m not sure I have the words but I’m definitely off for a coffee and some paracetamol.
