During Scotland’s 3-0 win over Cyprus, Liverpool defender and Scotland captain Andy Robertson was seen talking with the referees during half-time.
Andy Robertson, the left-back for Liverpool, led his country as captain on his 59th cap. Unnoticed by TV cameras, a journalist in attendance observed the 29-year-old’s behavior during halftime.
Robertson’s conversation with the referee
During the half-time break, Andy Robertson was observed by a journalist from Football Scotland named Aidan Scott, who gathered a collection of moments from the match that may have been overlooked by the viewers, such as Robertson conversing with referee Duje Strukan and his officials while they were on their way to the changing rooms.
The reporter wrote:
“It’s not clear what issue the captain wanted to raise with the Croatian official. Though the penalty shout for the tackle on Che Adams shortly before half-time may have been on his mind.”
It is unclear what they discussed, but it may have been related to a possible penalty shout on Che Adams who had to leave the pitch early in the second half due to injury. This incident could have been related to the tackle that might have resulted in a penalty for Scotland.
As the captain, Robertson has the right to discuss such matters with referees in a polite manner, and there was no indication from the Football Scotland article that he was arguing with the Croatian officiating team.
Thus, showing signs of a future skipper for the Reds!
Andy Robertson for Scotland
Being the captain of his country and playing for Liverpool, Robertson faces a lot of criticism and attention during international breaks.
In the game, Robertson played the full 90 minutes, registering an assist each for John McGinn and Scott McTominay. According to the Edinburgh Evening News, Robertson was the standout player for Scotland, even though McTominay stole the show with two goals from the bench.
According to reports, the Reds left-back could have handled a few critical moments in his penalty box better, but this criticism seems overly critical given that his team won the match easily.
Despite criticism of his defending in a few moments, the 29-year-old’s impetus to charge forward was highlighted.
This performance showed that Robertson is a crucial player for Scotland’s chances of qualifying for Euro 2024.
