Robertson now moves into third place on Scotland’s all-time appearance list, edging ever closer to the elite company of Jim Leighton (91 caps) and all-time leader Kenny Dalglish (102 caps).
Robertson, 31, led by example in Athens, with Scotland producing a resolute defensive display to claim a slender advantage going into the play-off second leg at Hampden Park on Sunday.
Robertson’s journey from the Scottish lower leagues with Queen’s Park to captaining his country on the international stage has been nothing short of remarkable.
The Liverpool defender has become a symbol of consistency and leadership since taking the armband in September 2018, guiding Scotland to back-to-back European Championship qualifications and fostering a new era of belief under Steve Clarke.
