Steve Clarke has revealed why he didn't honour Andy Robertson when the Liverpool left back became Scotland's most-capped captain.
SCOTLAND’S final Euro 2024 warm-up match against Finland at Hampden on Friday night may only have been a friendlyGrant Hanley, the Norwich City Centre half, won his 50th cap for his country during the 2-2 draw and entered the SFA Roll of Honour as a result.
Scotland skipper Andy Robertson made sure that all three of his team mates received keepsakes following the final whistle so they could remember the occasion for the rest of their lives. "They get a silver medal for 25 caps and a gold medal for 50. I don’t know what they get for 75. But it always takes about a month before they actually get those medal. So it’s nice on the night to actually give something out."
He anticipates there is much more to come from the 30-year-old Glaswegian in the coming weeks and beyond and thinks the time to hail his contribution will only come at some point in the distant future. "The performance from Andy on Friday night was excellent. He was always on the front foot. He’s a proper captain for me."Clarke was, even though his charges conceded two goals in the last 20 minutes and ended up being held to a 2-2 draw, heartened by how Scotland acquitted themselves against Finland.
“Especially with what happened to Lyndon Dykes. I think what happened with Lyndon spooked them a little bit. Now that they’re there, that they’re in the competition, it’s full steam ahead.”
