He has given his verdict.

Roy Keane has given his verdict on a Premier League and Scotland World Cup star, hammering him for when he doesn't perform.

Scotland take on Haiti, Morocco and Brazil in Group C, 28 years on from their last World Cup appearance.

Manager Steve Clarke will need his leaders like Andy Robertson and John McGinn, though McGinn was the subject of criticism from Roy Keane, on the latest episode of "Stick to Football".

Initially, Jamie Carragher praised Unai Emery's use of McGinn, a player who has featured in the Europa League winning side on a consistent basis.

Noting that he has been in outstanding form since his injury, Roy Keane had other thoughts, chiming in with his opinion on the player.

"John's brilliant but he's one of these fellas, when he's bad, he does look like a pub player," Keane said.

"No, when he's off he looks shocking."

"I don't see him playing many bad games," responded ex-England striker Ian Wright.

"No, but when's bad...wow.

"You'd have him in your group, of course, absolutely, and it's no surprise that Villa are doing well and he's at the forefront of that."
