Andy Robertson has etched his name into Scottish football history by tying Sir Kenny Dalglish’s all-time appearance record. The Liverpool defender reached his 102nd international cap after starting Scotland’s UEFA Nations League match against North Macedonia on Friday. This milestone ends a 40-year reign for Dalglish, who previously held the record for the most caps earned by a Scottish player.
Liverpool captain levels all-time record against North Macedonia, poised to break it Monday.
Robertson, now 32, is positioned to become the sole record holder as early as Monday. The Scotland captain is expected to lead his nation out against Switzerland at Hampden Park, where a start would secure his 103rd cap. His consistent availability and durability have allowed him to close the gap on the legendary Dalglish, cementing his status as one of the most dedicated servants in the country’s football history.
The achievement highlights Robertson’s pivotal role in modern Scottish football. As the team’s skipper, he is set to receive a rapturous reception from the home supporters at Hampden, acknowledging his legacy as an all-time great. With the record now within reach, Robertson’s performance against Switzerland will determine whether he stands alone at the top of the all-time charts or remains level with the former Liverpool and Scotland manager.
