Andy Robertson ties Kenny Dalglish's Scotland record with 102nd international cap
Summarised by MatchPal
Robertson equalled Dalglish's 102-cap Scotland record with his appearance against North Macedonia; he can break it against Switzerland on Monday.
Andy Robertson drew level with Sir Kenny Dalglish as Scotland's most-capped player on Friday, earning his 102nd international cap in the Nations League match against North Macedonia at Hampden Park. The 32-year-old Scotland captain started the fixture and received a standing ovation from home supporters. Dalglish held the record for 40 years.
Robertson can become Scotland's outright record cap holder if he features in Monday's match against Switzerland. Made his debut in March 2014 as a 19-year-old substitute against Poland, Robertson has become one of Scotland's greatest players and has captained the side since 2018, leading them to three major tournaments in five years and qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
Despite the historic milestone, Robertson deflected praise toward Dalglish, calling him "the greatest player of all time" for Scotland and saying the record holder "deserves" the honour. "Friday night's not about me," Robertson said. "Friday night's about the greatest player of all time in our country."
