Our left back was named as captain in the starting line-up by Scotland manager Sebastien Pocognoli for their 2-1 UEFA Nations League win against North Macedonia at Hampden Park, to move alongside the legendary Dalglish.
Dalglish, the former Celtic and Liverpool forward who, according to Robbo is “the best player to ever play with Scotland and arguably Britain”, featured for his country between 1971 and 1986 and scored a joint record 30 goals.
Robbo, who joined us during the summer, made his Scotland debut at the age of 19, coming off the bench in a 1-0 win against Poland in Warsaw in March, 2014. He has gone on to captain Scotland more times than any other player in history and led his nation at Euro 2020, Euro 2024 and the 2026 World Cup.
Friday’s result at Hampden Park left Scotland in contention for promotion from Nations League Group B with one game left to play.
After a goalless first half, John McGinn opened the scoring in the 54th minute although Scotland held that lead for just 183 seconds before Elmin Rastoder levelled it up. But Robbo’s landmark appearance ended in success when McGinn slotted home a 74th minute penalty, with our defender playing the full 90 minutes.
Scotland now have to beat Switzerland away from home in their final Group B game on Monday to make the promotion play-offs and, should he feature in the game, Andy will hold the appearance record outright.
