John McGinn Aston Villa
Ally McCoist, a Rangers legend, shared his insights on Aston Villa’s current form and capabilities. On the night they achieved a third consecutive win to reach the top of the 36-team Champions League table, McCoist expressed his confidence in Villa’s potential. He highlighted the team’s remarkable progress and the impact of having key players back from injury, which has strengthened their squad depth.
Ally McCoist said “It was a great delivery from McGinn, he put it into an area which we’ve seen him do before. In-swinging free kick for a centre back or a forward to attack, nobody gets a touch and it curls in at the back post. Great delivery. I was happy with Jhon Duran’s second, proper striker goal. He gets across the defender, outmuscles him and gets the slightest touch. It was a good performance from Villa. Bologna had one or two chances and hit the post late on, but I just thought it was the perfect evening for Aston Villa – a clean sheet and another three points. I genuinely believe Villa on their day can beat anybody on their day. The atmosphere before and during the game was proper. They got behind their team. You could see the players enjoyed it.”
He also noted the influence of returning players like Boubacar Kamara and Tyrone Mings, as well as the performances of other team members.
Ally McCoist said “The momentum they’re carrying at this moment in time, they’ve got a few familiar faces back from injury. Maatsen came in and did very, very well. Morgan Rogers, I thought, was different class.”
