Andrew Robertson had a tough season this year, with the player spending most of the time on the sidelines. Despite being one of the most trusted players under Jurgen Klopp, the Scotsman failed to make the cut with injuries marring his campaign. The Liverpool star made just 23 appearances for the club, his lowest since his debut season, in 2017.

However, it seems like Andrew Robertson is ready to bounce from the setbacks as the player looks to lead Scotland into the Euros for the 2nd time. Scotland head coach Steve Clark has a lot of trust in his captain and believes Robertson will bounce back from the purple patch. As the left-back looks to reclaim his lost touch, let’s dive deep into everything that motivates him off the field.

The pair have two children together, with Robertson even missing a Liverpool game for the birth of his youngest child in 2019. All eyes will be on Andrew Robertson this summer as the Scotland skipper hopes to become the first to lead his nation into the knockout stages of the Euros.

Andrew Robertson eager to make history with Scotland

Scotland has a lot on their plate heading into the Euros. The side has failed to make it through the Euros in their past 12 attempts. However, this year could be unique with Scotland skipper Andrew Robertson keen on giving his all to take this team through to the knockouts. The Scotland skipper stated, “We don’t want to have any regrets. What’s the worst that can happen? The worst that can happen is that we join a long list of so many good Scotland teams that failed to make it through the group. We know that’s what’s at stake.”

Robertson added, “We’ve got a lot of incentive to do well, but one is becoming that legendary squad; that has to drive us forward. We’ve got a lot of motivation, but that one for me is driving us forward. You never know what can happen in the knockout stages, but we have to get there first. We believe we can be the team that makes history.”

Scotland will face hosts Germany in the opening contest of the Euros tonight.
