Well, Stokes isn't Scottish, but, aye, I think he wouldn't be a bad signing as back up. Under the correct management, he is an excellent goal scorer.
McGinn bears no resemblance to Huddlestone. McGinn is the engine room of that Hibs team and, indeed, the Scotland team when he had his debut against Denmark and won man of the match. You've described him so incorrectly (big and pedestrian) I think you might have mistaken him for some other player. McGinn was wearing number 18. He's quite slight yet powerful. A sinewy little cunt of the highest order.
