Andy Robertson eager to persecute the record of Kenny Daglish Scotland

Scotland captain Andy Robertson made it clear that the international pension was not on his radar.

Instead, Liverpool’s left back playfully reminded Sir Kenny Dalglisha to close in his national record.

The 31-year-old should earn his 81th cap on Thursday, when Scotland faces Greece in the first part of the Nations play-offs.

This will push him next to Darren Fletcher to third place on the list of men’s appearances in Scotland, leaving only Jim Leighton (91) and Dalglish (102) in front of him.

“I actually said to Kenny the second week:” I’m coming for you, “Robertson told BBC Scotland.” His answer was a lot of players who had already said it and he’s still the main man. “

Robertson’s international journey began under Gordon Strachan in 2014, while playing for Dundee United.

Four years later, Alex McLeish gave him a captain’s tape.

“I love playing for Scotland, I appear for every camp and want to get as many caps as possible,” Robertson added. “Wherever it takes me, it takes me. I’m incredibly proud to get to 80.

‘Maybe Steve Clarke stops choosing me. Maybe that’s how it ends! ‘😅

“You just deal with what’s ahead of you. So much is happening, you can’t look too far away.

“You need a little luck with the injuries, but I do everything I can to make sure I am in the best possible form for Liverpool and Scotland.”

The last international goal of Robertson came at the time of stops against Poland last November, securing a 2-1 victory in Warsaw and winning third place in the National A1 leagues.

Now Scotland faces a key showdown against Greece to keep her place in the top level of the tournament.

The left back believes that the team showed significant progress in its first group A campaign, ending with seven points from the last three matches after a rough start.

“The league nation was important to us and the goal was always to reach Group A,” Robertson said. “Then we saw awards when we held ourselves against Portugal and Croatia.

“There was a lot of negativity after the euro is right. We believed we could get out of the group and did not occur at levels we know we can.

“There was a lot of conversation” is that the end for this team? “But I think we bounced very well.”

Greece, currently in 39th place in the world-six place above Scotland-ranked second behind England in its group on the B-Razine peoples on a goal-difference. Robertson acknowledged the challenge they represent.

“They are a really good team at home and they don’t acknowledge many goals,” he admitted. “It will be difficult, but we believe we can give anyone the game.”

The Scottish Greece will meet again later this year in the World Cup qualifiers, together with Belarus and the losing side of Portugal and the Danish quarterfinals.
