The Everton striker's sublime goal against France in Paris last month took the Scots to the top of Group B with only three Euro 2008 qualifying matches remaining and, although the 24-year-old has been uncomfortable with the adulation received, McLeish encouraged him to become a hero again.

He said: "James is a humble person and he will not think he is a superstar all of a sudden. He is probably a little bit embarrassed about the whole thing but I would like him to embarrass himself again."

He added: "He has a swagger but is humble with it and that is what you would want to see in young footballers. Sometimes they can change and become precious but James is a good type.

"It is for other people to say certain things and judge but I am sure his feet are firmly on the ground. McFadden has bundles of character and has proved time and time again he can come back from a setback."
