Robertson pays tribute to Dalglish as he matches Scotland cap record

Robertson will equal Dalglish's 102-cap Scotland record against North Macedonia on Friday, then surpass it in Switzerland on Monday.

Andy Robertson will match Kenny Dalglish's Scotland cap record of 102 appearances when Tottenham's full-back plays against North Macedonia at Hampden Park on Friday. He is expected to surpass the record four days later in a fixture against Switzerland.

Robertson paid tribute to Dalglish, widely regarded as Scotland's greatest player, saying the milestone is "another reason for our country to honour one of the greatest players that has played a game." Robertson got to know Dalglish well during his nine years at Liverpool.

"In terms of number, I will stand side by side with him but I don't want people to forget how important this man has been to our country," Robertson said.

Robertson said he never set personal goals and has always focused on what is best for the team, but acknowledged the significance of the achievement as he approaches and then surpasses Dalglish's long-standing record.
