Scott McKenna has managed to grab his first goal following his move to Nottingham Forest from Aberdeen.

The Scotland international made the switch to Forest earlier in the season following a lengthy stint with the Dons.

He’s already made himself a regular under new boss Chris Hughton, playing seven times. After a poor start to the season, Nottingham Forest have now lost just once in six games, albeit four of those matches were draws.

McKenna helped make sure they got a win in their latest outing, blasting an effort into the net with his left foot following a free kick. Forest eventually beat Coventry City 2-1 thanks to a late Lyle Taylor penalty.

It’s a boost for the defender ahead of a massive six days for Scotland, starting next week.

McKenna is in the squad which will travel to Serbia in seven days time, looking to book a Scottish place at Euro 2020 next summer.
