She also urged the 32-year-old to fulfil his dream of representing Scotland at the World Cup, and to do so in honour of both himself and Jota.Reading out the letter in a video on FIFA's YouTube channel, Robertson said: "Andy I'm writing to you with a heart full of longing, gratitude and above all pride. When I heard your words and learnt what you felt on that day when Scotland qualified for the World Cup after so many years of waiting, I realised that Diogo never truly left the pitch."By achieving that moment and securing your place at the World Cup, you won't be going alone; you'll be taking his dream with you too.

And when you step onto the pitch, I know it won't be just you walking out; Diogo will be with you in your thoughts, in your steps, in your heart."So, today I want to thank you. Thank you for taking him with you.

We will always make sure that his name will never be forgotten, that his memories will always be cherished like Rute says in there, the dreams that we'd shared of trying to be at the World Cup."Obviously, I think [the] 2022 World Cup was when me and Jots really became close. And I think we just spoke so much about what it would mean to us both to be at the next World Cup, and that was the aim for both of us, to get to America."And obviously, I'm just gutted that was taken away from him.
