Andy Robertson, a world-class left-back, continues to shine both for Liverpool and the Scottish national team.
In Euro 2024 qualifying action, Liverpool’s left-back, Andy Robertson, played a prominent role for the Scottish national team. Despite his usual position, Robertson, earning £160,000 a week according to SalarySport, operated on the left side of a midfield-four.

While Robertson is primarily a left-back, he often plays in a more advanced role for Scotland to accommodate Kieran Tierney in defense. Scotland secured their fifth consecutive victory in this match, with goals from Scott McTominay, Ryan Porteous, and John McGinn.
Robertson’s contributions during the game were noteworthy, including three key passes, an 89.7% pass accuracy, one header won, 77 touches, one tackle, one interception, two clearances, and seven crosses.
The media has praised Andy Robertson for his performance. GlasgowLive awarded him a rating of 8 out of 10, highlighting his contribution with a “good cross for the opener” and recognizing the benefits of having a player who excels in both Liverpool and the resurgent Scotland team.
The Scotsman, on the other hand, gave Robertson a rating of 7 out of 10 and noted his ability to control the pace on the left flank, with one of his early forays resulting in a crucial cross that led to Steve Clarke’s team scoring in the early minutes of the match.
