Andy Robertson and Alisson shared a lovely embrace following Scotland's World Cup loss to Brazil.
The final score in the game – a 3-0 victory for Brazil – secured top spot in Group C for Carlo Ancelotti's men, while Scotland is now on the brink of a group-stage exit.
Robertson and his international teammates face an anxious wait over the next few days to find out whether they will scrape into the knockout phase as one of the eight best third-placed teams. Scotland is currently seventh in the table of the 12 teams that currently occupy third place in their groups, but all five of the teams below Scotland are yet to play their final group game.
Despite the bleak situation facing Scotland, Robertson looked happy to be reunited with former Liverpool teammate Alisson following the final whistle.
One eagle-eyed social media user spotted that Robertson appeared to go in to Alisson a peck on the cheek as the pair parted ways, only for Alisson to make a swift exit.
Sharing a clip of the incident, the X user said: "When you move in to kiss your former team-mate and he’s having none of it! Poor Andy Robertson! This would go well with the Titanic song!"

Robertson was substituted at half-time against Brazil, by which point Scotland was trailing the game 2-0 after a first-half brace from Vinicius Junior.
Robertson emerged to sit on the bench in the second half with a bag of ice on his ankle, prompting concerns that he could be injured for the last 32 on the off chance that Scotland is involved.
After the game, Robertson accepted that Scotland's chances of making it out of the group are slim.
“As a collective we didn’t want to put ourselves in a position of having to watch every game and hope for favours,” said Robertson. “If you ask me now, I don’t think it’s enough, I don’t think we’ve done enough.
“Time will tell, maybe I’ll be proved wrong and we’ll get another shot, I hope that’s the case. The next couple of days will be horrible and long but we have to deal with it.”

Had Scotland only lost 1-0 to Brazil, its chances of making it into the last 32 as one of the best third-place teams would have been markedly better, but the team's goal difference of minus three means that progression is now unlikely.
