## Key points

- Robertson is set to equal Dalglish’s Scotland record of 102 caps.
- He expects to surpass the mark in Switzerland on Monday.
- Robertson says the milestone should also honour Dalglish’s legacy.

## Summary

Andy Robertson will equal Kenny Dalglish’s Scotland record of 102 international appearances when Scotland host North Macedonia at Hampden Park on Friday. He said the milestone is a chance to celebrate Dalglish’s achievements and character, stressing that matching his cap tally does not make their reputations equal.

The Tottenham full-back spent nine years at Liverpool, where he got to know Dalglish, and said Dalglish often reminded him that reaching 100 caps was harder in his era. Robertson is expected to move past the record in Switzerland on Monday. He said he had not set personal targets, but began to think the record was within reach after passing Darren Fletcher and approaching Jim Leighton’s 91 caps.
