Andy Robertson set to make Scotland history but Kenny Dalglish will always be his king

Andy Robertson is on the verge of becoming Scotland's most-capped men's international, but the Tottenham defender insists his childhood hero Kenny Dalglish will always remain the country's greatest footballer in his eyes.

The Scotland captain is set to win his 102nd international cap against North Macedonia at Hampden Park on Friday, drawing level with Dalglish's long-standing record.

Robertson could then move ahead of the Liverpool legend when Scotland face Switzerland in St Gallen on Monday, provided he features in both matches.

The 32-year-old described the prospect of matching Dalglish as an emotional moment, admitting that thinking about the achievement still gives him goosebumps.

However, Robertson was keen to pay tribute to the former Scotland and Liverpool forward, who has played an important role in his life and career.

The pair developed a close relationship after Robertson joined Liverpool from Hull City in 2017. Dalglish and his family offered support to the defender and his family as they settled in Merseyside.

Robertson also recalled how much Dalglish meant to his late grandfather, describing the Liverpool icon as a hero to his family.

Despite being on the brink of history, Robertson insists the focus remains on helping Scotland secure an important result against North Macedonia.
