Scotland hero John McGinn had families and staff at Glasgow Children's Hospital in stitches during a team visit ahead of the Euros 2024 in Germany.

The hospital has shared hilarious footage of McGinn touring the wards and entertaining little ones as the national football team recently paid a visit.

They released footage on Tuesday (June 11) and explained they felt 'super John' deserved his own 'best bits' video for brightening up the day for sick kids.

The video, shared on social media, begins with McGinn showing one boy how to perform his special goal celebration where he makes goggles over his eyes with his hands.

Next he asks a young girl whether she likes Wotsits and complains that they leave a mess over his hands and he has to clean up with baby wipes afterwards.

Outside another ward he stands beside Stuart Armstrong and Ryan Christie and makes barking noises, pretending to be a dog.

Visiting another child he sees a Spongebob Squarepants toy and mimics the characters voice.

McGinn then agrees that a Margherita pizza is the best, 'even if some people think it is boring.'

The video ends with one little boy joking with Super John and telling him he hopes it see him playing for Celtic one day.
