Hopefully this reignites his confidence to kick on this season.

[Juice-Terry]

Hopefully this reignites his confidence to kick on this season.
Amen. I, like many others on here, have been very criticial of him during the last six months. Hopefully he'll rediscover his early Hibs form. Congratulations and good luck Paul! GGTTH!

It's not been for 6 months. Been mixed this season, last game back to his best.

[staunchhibby]

Well deservec

[Since452]

Cant be true. The experts on here say he's pish

[Unseen work]

Must say I’m surprised as this one.

30 years old, not been great this season and unlikely to get any minutes. If we play a 352 I highly doubt he will be right wing back.

Thought Rooney or Ramsay might have been in with a shout given their age and form.

[bigwheel]

Nice reward for his hard work over the last 18 months

[Stuart93]

Well done to Paul but not so sure it’s been deserved on his recent performances this season.

Surely would’ve been better calling up the young lad from Aberdeen or Ralston from Celtic who’ve both started the season really well?

[CMac1988]

Was a cool head most of last season and rarely made a mistake. Needs to try and regain that form but the lack of competition and fit players means he's having to stick out what is hopefully just a rough patch.

[Iain G]

Gives a good depth to the squad, can cover two positions, clearly there are some injury niggles with some players, but it will be good for him and he is the right back in the best team in Scotland at the moment :greengrin

Rooney looks flawed to me.
Ramsey is very good going forward and can cross the ball. Don't know how good he is as a defender but he looks like the future, fighting it out with Paterson. He is in the young squad who are also playing on Tuesday.
As for McGinn, this will be a nice boost for him especially given he can spend time again with his enthusiastic brother.

[EdinburghHibern]

Strange one based on his performances so far this season.

Should be calling up a younger player for their development tbh.

[04Sauzee]

It's not been for 6 months. Been mixed this season, last game back to his best.

Last game was like Paul of old, Hopefully this call up will do him the world of good.

[Billy Whizz]

Reading that McLean, Patterson and Fraser are all out

[Brightside]

Experienced cover if called upon for a one off game. Makes sense.

[JimBHibees]

Issue may be Ramsay is with Under 21s and he will have him heading to Turkey. Paul has been with the squad and Clarke probably wants someone he knows and trusts rather than getting new guy in. Assume will be cover however a little strange as Patterson and O'Donnell still there.

[JimBHibees]

Exactly that

[JimBHibees]

Reading that McLean, Patterson and Fraser are all out

Will be interesting to see which of them play this weekend.

[eastmainsmsh]

Pleased for him will give him confidence to get back to playing like he can

Patterson is out

[EdinMike]

Yup yup ! Will hopefully push him on to be the reliable right back we know he can be.

[Jim44]

I’m delighted for Paul. He’s had a few weak moments but there’s a good reliable player there.

[Lago]

:aok:

Didn't realise that. :aok:

[Vault Boy]

Many congratulations to Paul.

Aye very good, keep it up. :rolleyes:

Was outstanding against Livi and fully deserves it.

[Peevemor]

I'm chuffed for him. A couple of shoogly moments doesn't make him a bad player overnight. He's also chipped in with a couple of great assists.

[number9dream]

Patterson is out

And O’Donnell hasn’t played for weeks after picking up Covid. He might struggle to last 90 minutes.

[007]

Reading that McLean, Patterson and Fraser are all out

Steve Clarke did say afterwards that about 7 or 8 players had knocks so presume they were 3 of them and the rest are okay.

Well done to Paul McGinn and good luck. Hope he gets some time on the pitch.

[Stick]

Congratulations Paul, well deserved. I was at the game against Livi and thought he played well. We need experience for tomorrows important game not a young, even if talented, player. Paul won’t let us down and can even contribute to the attack if given a chance.

[Crunchie]

Experienced cover if called upon for a one off game. Makes sense.

Completely, and here's hoping he gets on at some stage. Always good to see hard working pros get recognition.

[Smartie]

If you're only as good as your last game then he's very good.

McGinn has been excellent for us and but for some rotten defending at times from Gogic our defensive record this season would be pretty spectacular.

That said, it's a big shout taking him ahead Ralston, who has a lot more of his career in front of him and has supposedly been excellent for Celtic.

[JammyDoidger]

We need to play a right back against austria, none of this left footers at right back carry on. Ralston should have been in to start IMO. Clarks a donkey.

[ekhibee]

Have to admit I'm surprised by this, if it wasn't for Gogic he probably would've received a lot more flack, but if he can regain last season's form he certainly wouldn't be the worst choice.

[Mr. Wonderful]

Ralston was a donkey to everyone, even celtic fans, about 3 weeks ago.

[oneone73]

That's now seven Hibs players away on international squads this week by my reckoning: McGinn, Boyle, Doig, Gogic, Mackay,Scott and Nathan Wood. Have I missed any? Chances of them all coming back unscathed?

There's the risk of injury on one hand, but I'd be very happy to see Gogic, Mackay, Scott and Wood actually getting time on the pitch for their respective international teams. They'd be stronger for it.

[Billy Whizz]

At least 2, Gordon and Smith

[cabbageandribs1875]

super Paul McGinn




surprised but pleased for him to get this recognition for the national side, don't think he will get a game but still



what's up with paterson

[TheHibernator]

Gave him a lot of well deserved praise last season, but there are others more deserving of the call up this time round. Had a poor start imo.

Ralston at Celtic deserves a shot, looked good every time I’ve seen him so far, watched their home leg against AZ Alkmaar and he was outstanding.

[bigwheel]

Must say I’m surprised as this one.

30 years old, not been great this season and unlikely to get any minutes. If we play a 352 I highly doubt he will be right wing back.

Not sure what nationality Rooney is , but have you ever see him do something decent defensively ?? I know he is good going forward, and certainly a threat at set pieces , but I have never seen him defend well . Not in any game I’ve watched him …

[worcesterhibby]

Have brothers ever represented Scotland before on the same pitch ?

I don't think they have, certainly in the modern era...if both McGinns play it could be a historic moment.

Frank and Eddie Gray🤷*♂️

[oneone73]

Last Wednesday - the brothers grim.

[PatHead]

Can't think of any brothers other than those named, but can only think of one father and son who played for Scotland. (Obviously at different times). Scot and Archie Gemmill.

There must be loads more. Can anyone help?

[Since452]

Like others have said, i felt he was back to his steady self last time out against Livingston. He obviously had a bug or something against Dundee as he was vomiting before kick off. Wasn't surprised to see him come off. This will give him a huge boost.

[Billy Whizz]

The Bartles family maybe

[CloudSquall]

The Twitter responses did make me chuckle, especially the below:greengrin


Marko Arnautovic is about be firmly placed in his back pocket, Steve Clarke masterclass

[marinello59]

Always good to see Hibs players getting some recognition. I’m delighted for him, hope he gets to play.

Still surprised the Showumni brothers didn't get a call up...

[JammyDoidger]

Ralston was a donkey to everyone, even celtic fans, about 3 weeks ago.

I know but the boys been playing well, he isn't going to start mcginn, so best option I could think off for that position. I'd rather mcginn played than a left back out of position though.

[Since452]

What's all this Ralston chat? Celtic's defence is an absolute car crash. If a young lad was going to get a chance i'd much rather it was the boy Ramsay at Aberdeen. Looks the real deal.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

How do you get that big paragraph to fit into the tune?

[Phil MaGlass]

Well done Paul :thumbsup: the more Internationalists the better.

[Inconsequential]

Some very odd reactions to the call up of Paul McGinn. Of course, some on here have already decided that he is a poor player not good enough for Hibs. The very best of luck to Paul McGinn I say. Great to have another Hibs player involved at international level. He was there last season and the manager will know what he's getting with Paul. GGTTH!

[tamig]

He was decent last game 👍

It could have been Joe and Gerry Baker but for the rules that applied back then.

I've only ever noticed him in games v Hibs and to be fair, he's not exactly been stretched defensively in those fixtures.

[He's here!]

The Caldwells?

Prior to the Caldwells I think the last brothers to play together for Scotland were Hibs' Davie Shaw and his brother Jock who played for Rangers back in the 40s/50s.

[bigwheel]

Ive seen him get subbed against us. And been dropped too…he is clearly good going forward, but at the back he is nothing much

Fair enough, the detail people have about low profile players from other teams never fails to surprise me.

Lol. Me too tbf. He’s just someone who stuck out for me….that said, he will no doubt now go on to win 50 caps ! :-)

anyone know how many the jumbos have away?

Shows you the difference in recruitment and our youth set up, if thats all they can muster.

Did occur to me. The Souttars with one playing for Australia as well.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

D'oh!

I we were pipped to his signing by Aberdeen :)

[tamig]

Changed days from the World Cup star filled Romanov era when the full 70 man squad would be off all around the globe on international breaks.

[H18 SFR]

Really delighted to see Paul McGinn capped.

[-Jonesy-]

And there he goes🥰

[RyeSloan]

Great for Paul. Delighted for him.

And another cap for that Hibs defence that some are still determined to dismantle for not being good enough!

[Northernhibee]

Really delighted to see Paul McGinn capped.

Fantastic to see.

[3pm]

Well done Paul.

[flash]

Was really nervous for him but he didn't put a foot wrong.

He did well.

Did well. Think he lost his man for the header that Gordon saved mind you…..as you say though. Will be happy with his contribution

What a boost for Paul and well deserved. Been excellent for Hibs.

Brilliant achievement for Paul. Excellent for Hibs to have so many players being rewarded with international football these days.

[JimBHibees]

Fantastic recognition for a brilliant professional
