There's no love lost when it comes to the Auld Enemy.

England and Scotland met last September at Hampden to celebrate the anniversary of the first ever international match - and the visitors left with the bragging rights.

The current international break this month came up for discussion with their club media team - and McGinn's cheeky line left his bemused team-mate open-mouthed as he delivered 'the truth' from north of the border.

"In Scotland right, you need to watch the telly. Channel 3 mate, it's all English commentators, all English pundits saying 'us' and we're like 'we're paying our TV licence here'.

Watkins wasn't taking the friendly hostility and replied: "Yeah but you're my team-mate, I want you to do well."

And McGinn was hailed for his quick-fire comeback: "Yeah I want you to score a hat-trick and get beat 4-3.

"Mate I'm just being honest with you here."

The cold quip left Watkins stunned - and Scotland fans in raptures.
