Scotland footballers reveal dressing room secrets: wind-ups and best posers
Scotland squad players have revealed entertaining details about their teammates' habits. It emerged that Liam Kelly winds up Grant Hanley, Lyndon Dykes follows Ryan Christie around like a dog, and John McGinn packed a European power adapter.
SportScotland's national football team players opened up in an entertaining fashion, revealing what goes on in the dressing room and on trips – and the answers were surprisingly candid and funny.
The most striking discovery involved Liam Kelly and Grant Hanley: goalkeeper Kelly has taken it upon himself to wind up captain Hanley – and he does it quite frequently. According to his teammates, it is no rare occurrence but rather a sort of ritual that binds the two players together.
Lyndon Dykes stood out for quite a different characteristic – he follows striker Ryan Christie around like a faithful dog, shadowing him at every turn. The in-house jokes on this subject have not gone unnoticed, and players described the pair's dynamic with great humour and warmth.
Midfielder John McGinn revealed in turn that he had been thoughtful enough to pack a European power adapter in his travel bag – a detail that shows an experienced player has mastered the nuances of travelling at international level. Scotland's squad's internal banter and habits paint a picture of a tightly-knit group where humour is an inseparable part of communal life.
