Robertson will now lead the Scots into their first World Cup in 28 years when they face Haiti in their opening fixture this weekend.As part of FIFA's "Letters That Unite" series, he received a heartfelt note from Jota's wife, Rute Cardoso.In the letter, she addresses Robertson directly, writing: "Andy, I'm writing to you with a heart full of longing gratitude and above all pride."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 FIFA World Cup was one of those dreams. When I heard your words and learnt what you felt on that day when Scotland qualified after so many years of waiting, I realised that Diogo never truly left the pitch."By achieving that moment, you won't be going alone; you'll be taking his dream with you too."When you step onto the pitch, I know it won't be just you walking out.

Thank you for taking him with you. He'd been a guest at the couple's wedding merely 11 days before Jota's passing.Jota's wife wrote the letter to Robertson before the FIFA World Cup(Image: Getty Images)Responding to Rute's letter, the Scotland captain - who recently departed Liverpool for Spurs ahead of the World Cup - commented: "It's amazing of Rute to take the time, for what she's going through, to write me a letter."But it just sums up the person that she is.

Then I saw how heartbroken we all were, but in particular her, when Jots left us."Thank you, that letter will stay with me for a very long time. But obviously I'll carry him in my heart and I know he'll be with me come the first game, the second game, the third game - and hopefully beyond that."He's always there.
