๐ฐ Tottenham defender Robertson reached 100 caps for Scotland, captaining the side away in North Macedonia.
๐ Key points
๐๏ธ Scotland won 2-0 away in Skopje.
๐งข Robertson wore the armband and played the full game.
๐ He is only the second Scotland men's player to reach 100 caps.
๐ฏ He fired off four shots in the first 13 minutes.
๐๏ธ He is two games short of Dalglish's record of 102 caps.
๐ What happened
โฝ Scotland won 2-0 away to North Macedonia in the Nations League on 3 October. Kieran Bowie opened the scoring from outside the box in the 7th minute, and in the 69th minute Bowie's shot hit the post and struck the hand of defender Miovski, with a penalty awarded. John McGinn took the spot kick.
๐ฏ According to Sports Mole, Robertson had four shots in the first 13 minutes โ the most he has managed in a single international. He also contributed six clearances and two interceptions at the back. Local outlet The National gave him an 8 out of 10, describing him as like a man possessed.
๐ฃ๏ธ Robertson said the milestone meant everything to him and his family. Of his early flurry of shots, he joked that Dalglish must have been worried about his goalscoring record.
๐งค On the same day, Tottenham goalkeeper Kinskรฝ made his debut for Czechia. He played the full game away in Spain, but his side lost 1-3.
๐ By the numbers
โข Robertson's Scotland caps: 100 (second all-time)
