A former Liverpool full-back has been having his say on the future and importance of Andy Robertson ahead of his huge match for ScotlandAndy Robertson's sole focus tonight will be on leading Scotland to the first World Cup since 1998. But after the Tartan Army's massive match with Denmark, and the celebrations that will hopefully follow, it will be back down to club business with Liverpool in what, could yet, be his last season at Anfield.Robertson has won every major domestic, European and World trophy there is to win at Liverpool since his bargain £8m move from Hull City in the summer of 2017.
He said: "It is a funny one with Andy Robertson and Liverpool, really."I think from how he has served Liverpool in his career, I think it will more be a case of Liverpool giving him the option. You can lead by example, lead vocally and in all different ways."Robertson was confirmed as the Reds' new-vice captain in August following the departure of his friend and fellow full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.The Reds made a flying start to the season, winning their first seven games in all competitions after losing the Community Shield to Crystal Palace on penalties at Wembley.But a 2-1 defeat at Palace in the Premier League on September 27 has set off of a chain of bad results for the defending champions.Indeed, Liverpool return to action on Saturday at home to Nottingham Forest having lost seven of their last 10 matches in all competitions.And McAteer, speaking to AceOdds, said: "I am studying leadership now, and I am still old school when it comes to leadership.
So, to come back to Andy Robertson, he is playing a lot right now, because Liverpool need him and his experience, but especially because of his leadership qualities.“I think Andy Robertson is needed at Liverpool right now for a lot of different reasons."Robertson will lead from the front tonight when Scotland take on Denmark for a place at the 2026 World Cup.And speaking ahead of the crunch encounter, he said: "I don’t think too far ahead but obviously, the fact is it will be my 90th cap, which is a huge honour for me and my family."It’s massive the fact that it’s going to be my 90th time playing for this country. I couldn’t even imagine that when I was younger or even when I made my debut and this journey kind of began."That’s a huge honour for me and it’s nice that it goes along with a pretty big game as well."I’m looking forward to it and I hope that my 90th cap will be the most memorable.
