Andy Robertson left the field at Chelsea with concern over his fitness, but 90 minutes in a comeback win against Kostas Tsimikas‘ Greece has allayed any lingering fears. But he trained as normal and then was named in Steve Clarke’s starting lineup for their World Cup qualifier against Greece on Thursday evening, with Robertson playing all but the final moments.

It was his first goal for his country and he told Nova Sports he dedicated it to his “friends, Diogo Jota, of course to [George] Baldock, but also to those who have left us.” It was a deserved goal for Greece, but it sprang Scotland to life, and they went on to score two minutes later before adding another two goals for a 3-1 win that keeps them in contention for a World Cup spot.

Tsimikas played the full match, while Robertson was taken off as a very late substitution as Scotland wound down the clock before they were gifted their third goal from a goalkeeper error. Both Robertson and Tsimikas have one game left to play during the October break, with the former to wrap up his time with Scotland against Belarus on Sunday.
