The Scotland hall of fame member, who lifted three European Cups with Liverpool, insists Robertson won’t be going anywhere soon and still has “a hell of a lot to offer” for club and country.

Steve Clarke will name his latest Scotland squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers away to Denmark and Belarus this week.

Robertson, as always, should be among the first on his list.



And while he was a second half sub for Liverpool’s Premier League opener against Bournemouth and the Community Shield defeat to Crystal Palace, he looks certain to win caps 85 and 86 in the coming weeks to take him closer to Dalglish’s haul of 102.



Souness said: “That's some achievement, yeah.

And so he should.

“I’ve seen Milos Kerkez play at Bournemouth because that's where I live.

See, when you take a player like that from a small club, although he's playing in the Premier League and doing really well in the Premier League, can you go to a big club and turn up every week?

“Because Liverpool play a cup final every week.

He's still got lots and lots to offer.”

Robertson’s former Liverpool team mate Ben Doak could return to Clarke’s squad for the first time since last November after completing a £25m move to Bournemouth last week.

The 19-year-old made a stunning international breakthrough in the Nations League before a thigh injury ruled him out of this year’s play-off defeat to Greece and the June friendlies against Iceland and Liechtenstein.

Souness reckons the Tartan Army are right to be excited about the little winger.

So he can be a big player going forward for club and country.”

When Souness finally called time on his trophy-laden Liverpool career it was to head to Italy with Sampdoria.

And the 72-year-old admits seeing the ever-increasing Scottish contingent tear up Serie A led by Napoli champions Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour, Coppa Italia winning Lewis Ferguson at Bologna and Che Adams, Josh Doig and now Lennon Miller fills him with pride.

He said: “Brilliant.

I don't think we really believed.

“But when we got a player sent off (Ryan Porteous) he's launched at Gundogan.
