John McGinn hopes to see Scotland back at a major tournament in the coming years after their Euro 2020 journey came to an end on Tuesday night.
A 3-1 defeat against Croatia at Hampden Park saw the Scots finish bottom of Group D, bringing to a close their first major tournament appearance since 1998.
However, with the current crop of talent, McGinn believes his country can be back on the big stage again soon.
"We've got to use this to drive us on to more tournaments," he said.
"They're an excellent team, we knew that. We were ignoring all the noise that they were an ageing team and slow. They weren't, and they have one of the best players in the world in Luka Modric.
"The World Cup is our aim now. You look around the dressing room and we've got a good age group, determined guys and we feel as if we didn't do ourselves justice.
"We need to become a nation that is used to it, we need to become braver and better. But what we have done is create history coming here and we want this to be the start, not the end."
