Andy Robertson is set to become only the second player in 150 years of Scottish football to reach 100 international caps, with the national captain poised to hit the milestone in Saturday's Nations League match against North Macedonia. The Tottenham Hotspur defender has been a constant presence since his debut under Gordon Strachan in 2014, defining a generation of the Scotland national team.
Robertson is closing in on Kenny Dalglish's all-time record of 102 caps, with the Liverpool legend joking that he might still be on top if he uses a better games-to-years ratio. Dalglish's record of 30 goals remains safe from Robertson's reach. Of current players, John McGinn is only eight caps behind Robertson, meaning Scotland's centurion club could soon have three members.
Since being named captain by Alex McLeish in 2018, Robertson has led Scotland 29 times, more than any other player in history. He is the only man to have captained Scotland at three major tournaments, including the recent World Cup. Under Steve Clarke, Robertson played 68 times as captain, with the former boss praising him as a "fantastic captain" and "very, very important" to the squad.
