Kenny Dalglish will always be King of Scotland as Andy Robertson targets another milestone

Robertson will equal Kenny Dalglish's Scotland record of 102 caps tonight against North Macedonia, but insists the Liverpool legend will always be the country's greatest.

Scotland captain Andy Robertson will equal Sir Kenny Dalglish's all-time record of 102 international caps when he plays against North Macedonia tonight at Hampden. Robertson paid tribute to his fellow Liverpool icon, saying Dalglish will always be regarded as Scotland's greatest player regardless of any cap milestone he surpasses.

Robertson, 32, spoke warmly of his relationship with Dalglish, recalling that the former king was one of the first to text him when he received the captaincy. "When the time comes and I do go above him, I'll be above him in caps only," Robertson said. "For me, he'll always be the greatest of this country because of what he did, how he did it and also the man that he's become."

Robertson will move ahead of Dalglish's record with 103 caps in Monday's Nations League match against Switzerland, provided he avoids a booking tonight. He acknowledged he is walking a suspension tightrope but insisted it won't affect his approach to the game.
