Andy Robertson has shared an emotional letter from Diogo Jota’s widow as he prepares to lead Scotland at their World Cup return. Now, as part of a feature on Fifa’s social media channels, Robertson has read out a letter from Jota’s widow, Rute Cardoso.“Andy I’m writing to you with a heart full of longing, gratitude and above all pride,” read the letter.

“Diogo often spoke of you, of the friendship you built, the battles you fought together, the challenges, the laughter, the conversations about football and about dreams.“The World Cup was one of those dreams, a dream that the two of you nurtured side by side with the same passion with which you took to the pitch. When I heard your words and learnt what you felt on that day when Scotland qualified for the World Cup after so many years of waiting, I realised that Diogo never truly left the pitch.“By achieving that moment and securing your place at the World Cup, you won’t be going alone; you’ll be taking his dream with you too.

Thank you for not forgetting him. Thank you for taking him with you.
