Andy Robertson has reached 102 Scotland caps, drawing level with the legendary Kenny Dalglish for the most appearances in national team history, according to Yahoo Sports.
The Scotland captain reached the milestone after being named in the starting lineup for a Nations League match against North Macedonia.
This achievement matches a record that has stood for four decades, as noted in reporting by Yahoo Sports.
Robertson is expected to surpass the mark during an upcoming match against Switzerland at Hampden Park.
Despite the significance of the feat, Robertson expressed deep respect for Dalglish, stating, “There are normal seats but there’s one throne and Kenny Dalglish should be sat on it.”
He further described Dalglish as the greatest player in the country’s history.
Robertson made his international debut in March 2014 against Poland and has since become a consistent presence for his country.
His playing style has been characterized by high levels of aggression and stamina throughout his career.
Since assuming the captaincy in 2018, he has led the team to three major tournaments and assisted in securing qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
The appearance against North Macedonia also served as his 80th match as team captain, which set another record by moving him ahead of George Young, per Yahoo Sports.
Robertson noted that he prefers to keep the focus away from his personal accolades.
He emphasized that he remains focused on the team’s performance rather than individual records.
The veteran defender remains a vital component of the current squad as they prepare for future international fixtures.
His journey from a debutant to the record-equaling captain highlights his dedication to the national program.
The upcoming match at Hampden Park is expected to draw significant attention from fans and media alike as he prepares to stand alone in the record books.
