Andy Robertson Reveals Scotland’s Bold World Cup Ambition: Success Over History, But What If Both Are Within Reach?
Scotland are back at the World Cup for the first time in 28 years this summer, meaning a whole generation of both fans and players will get their first taste of the game’s biggest tournament.
An unforgettable qualification campaign that climaxed with the dramatic win over Denmark last year has given hope among supporters that Scotland can more than make up the numbers.
Tasked with leading the squad in North America is skipper Andy Robertson, a player who has won almost everything at club level and now finally gets the chance to tick off another career goal.
Robertson on Scotland’s objectives this summer
“That was always the aim,” Robertson tells FourFourTwo when asked about what it means to play at a World Cup. “Qualifying for tournaments was one thing, but to help take your country to a World Cup was always the biggest driving factor. It’s the biggest stage – it’s the pinnacle – and the tournament that everyone in the world wants to be involved in.
“I’m not as young as I once was, time was probably a little bit against me in terms of it coming round every four years. So I knew this could potentially be my last chance and I didn’t want to give that up – I wanted to give absolutely everything to make that happen. We made sure everything off the pitch was spot on, then it was up to us to deliver on the pitch. Credit to the lads, we all did that. It’s a relief of course, but something I’m very proud of. We all are.”
