Round-upInternationals: Andy Robertson scores late Scotland winner on milestone night
Robertson captained his country against Poland in Warsaw and in doing so brought up the total of 80 appearances in senior international football – the joint-third-most for Scotland’s men’s side.
Reds teammate Ben Doak had assisted the visitors’ opener with a pullback to John McGinn in the third minute of the UEFA Nations League clash.
The hosts levelled just prior to the hour mark, but Robertson dramatically grabbed a 2-1 victory for the Scots in added time with an excellent header at the far post.
“It’s all about the team and all about the win, but this stadium holds a special place in my heart,” he said post-match.
“There’s not many around the world and this is definitely one of them. Obviously 10, 11 years ago I made my debut here in a 1-0 win, which was the proudest moment of my career. I had all my family here and things like that.
“I didn’t know how many caps I was going to get after that but to then come back here and now be top three and join an absolute legend in Darren Fletcher, who I was very fortunate enough to share a changing room with, it’s great for me.
“I’m not a very emotional person but when you think about it… I just love playing for this country and to be able to get one cap, never mind 80, is such a special feeling.
“That [the goal] was the cherry on top in the last minute, probably nobody expected that tonight! To get that goal and get the win for the boys… I wish I scored more for my country because that feeling is like no other. Hopefully maybe there’s a couple more to come.”
Elsewhere in the Nations League, Conor Bradley was on target for Northern Ireland five minutes into the second half of their eventual 2-2 draw at Luxembourg.
The Liverpool defender also netted with a back-post header – a fourth strike at senior level for his country – before Luxembourg rallied from two down to equalise.
Bradley was subsequently named Player of the Match.
At U21s level, Tyler Morton played 74 minutes for England in a 1-1 friendly draw versus the Netherlands away from home.
Keyrol Figueroa started for USA’s U20s as they claimed a 2-1 win over France in a friendly.
And, earlier in the day, Rio Ngumoha was brought on from the bench for the final quarter of the game as England’s U17s were edged out 2-1 by hosts Belgium.
