Scotland’s match with Greece allowed Andy Robertson to move a step closer to Kenny Dalglish’s all-time appearance record for his country, with Thursday night’s game seeing the left-back move into third position on the list.
This is an incredible feat for the Liverpool star and it seemed that everything surrounding the game with Greece inspired the 31-year-old to put in a solid display.
Edinburgh News rated Robertson’s display against Greece as a seven out of 10 with the Scottish outlet saying: “The captain got up and down in the first half.
Second half he had to defend and did that well.”
This was backed up by the Herald Scotland, who also rated their captain a seven out of 10, stating: “Got up and down the pitch well and had a decent game overall, but put in a couple of poor deliveries from corners early on.”

Robertson was one of several Liverpool players who needed a good international break and Slot will be hoping the defender can carry this with him throughout the remainder of the 2024/25 campaign.
Liverpool are almost certain to sign a left-back this summer ahead of next season and the main target the Reds are continuously linked with is Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez.
Jamie Carragher called for Liverpool to sign a left-sided defender who can play as a left-back and as a centre-back.
Ajax’s Jorrell Hato gives Arne Slot this option and the Dutch defender would not cost as much as a player such as Kerkez.

Fulham’s Antonee Robinson has been linked to Liverpool for a long time but turning 28 this year, his age may work against him when it comes to the Reds recruiting for their left-back position.
It does remain to be seen, however, if the Scottish star will be starting on Merseyside next season.
