Overview
- Andy Robertson is set to win his 102nd Scotland cap against North Macedonia at Hampden on Friday 13 November and can surpass Kenny Dalglish with a 103rd cap in St Gallen against Switzerland on Monday 16 November if he plays.
- Robertson has publicly framed the night as a tribute to Dalglish, saying the record will be caps-only and praising Dalglish's personal support since he joined Liverpool.
- Scotland’s new head coach Sébastien Pocognoli has lost both home matches so far, with the side scoring one goal and conceding five at Hampden, which makes securing points the immediate priority for the team.
- Robertson is Scotland’s longest-serving captain and reached 100 caps on 3 October; his club trophy record with Liverpool is also central to assessments of his legacy.
- Commentators note the Nations League and denser modern calendars give current players more opportunities to accumulate caps, so observers are judging Robertson’s milestone alongside team form and upcoming selection decisions.
