Andy Robertson reached another significant milestone for his country on a memorable night for the Scotland captain.
The former Liverpool defender earned his 100th international cap as Scotland secured a much-needed Nations League victory over North Macedonia, with the occasion providing another reminder of the influence he has had on his country over the past decade.
He produced a performance that earned widespread praise from the Scottish media, with the Scotsman describing it as a “night to remember” for a Scotland legend.
The 32-year-old was rated 8/10 by The Scotsman, having impressed throughout the majority of the contest.
Robertson repeatedly looked to drive Scotland forward from the left flank and came close to marking his landmark appearance with a goal.
His first opportunity arrived inside the opening five minutes when he unleashed a powerful left-footed effort towards goal, only for Stole Dimitrievski to produce an impressive save to keep the ball out.
The Glasgow Times also highlighted Robertson’s attacking influence, noting how seeing their captain on the front foot appeared to lift those around him.
The occasion was particularly significant given Robertson’s status in Scottish football.
He is already among his country’s most-capped players and is now just two appearances away from matching Sir Kenny Dalglish’s tally.
Should he remain available, Robertson is expected to move beyond the Liverpool legend and become Scotland’s most-capped men’s player in November.
His international career has been closely intertwined with his rise at Liverpool.
Robertson joined the Reds from Hull City in 2017 and quickly established himself as one of the finest left-backs in Europe under Jurgen Klopp.
He went on to make more than 300 appearances for Liverpool, winning the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup and FIFA Club World Cup during an outstanding spell at Anfield.
Robertson subsequently made the move to Tottenham Hotspur, where he has continued to represent Scotland while beginning a new chapter of his club career.
Despite the changes at club level, his importance to Scotland remains undeniable.
His 100th cap provided another landmark moment in an international career that is still adding to his legacy.
