Andy Robertson on Track to Break Kenny Dalglish’s Cap Record

news-15112024-221029

Andy Robertson is well on his way to breaking the record for the most capped Scotland player of all time. The national team captain is set to play his 79th international match, which will put him in third place on the most capped list alongside Darren Fletcher. If he participates in the upcoming Nations League games against Croatia and Poland, he will only be behind Jim Leighton and Sir Kenny Dalglish in terms of appearances for the country.

Scotland manager, Steve Clarke, believes that Robertson has the potential to surpass Sir Kenny Dalglish’s record of 102 caps if he continues to perform at the same high level. Clarke praised Robertson for his consistency and leadership as the team captain, expressing confidence in his ability to maintain his spot in the starting lineup for years to come.

While Robertson’s future looks bright, Clarke also highlighted the importance of nurturing young talent like Ben Doak. Doak, who played in the recent Nations League matches against Croatia and Portugal, is still developing as a player and needs to be given time to grow. Clarke emphasized the need to protect and support young players like Doak, ensuring that they have a long and successful career at the international level.

As Robertson continues his journey towards breaking records, the focus remains on both his individual achievements and the development of young talents within the Scotland squad. With the right guidance and support, the future looks promising for Scottish football.
