## Summary

Andy Robertson is set to draw level with Kenny Dalglish on 102 Scotland caps against North Macedonia at Hampden, then could surpass Dalglish’s long-standing record in Switzerland on Monday. The Tottenham left-back says the milestone feels special, but he wants the occasion to honour Dalglish, whom he regards as Scotland’s greatest player.

Robertson made his Scotland debut as a 19-year-old in 2014 and says he has stayed focused on the present while using self-doubt to motivate himself. His club honours include two Premier League titles and a Champions League, and he has captained Scotland more than any other player. Dalglish’s record has stood for 40 years; Robertson describes him as a hero whose impact is cherished by his family.
