Scotland Captain Andy Robertson has made it clear that international retirement is not on his radar.
Instead, Liverpool’s left back reminded Sir Kenny Dalglish that he was closing in his national record.
The 31-year-old is expected to win his 81st ceiling on Thursday, when Scotland faces Greece in the first part of the Play-off of the Nations Championship.
He will push him beyond Darren Fletcher in third place in the list of performances of all time in Scotland, leaving only Jim Leighton (91) and Dalglish (102) in front of him.
“I really told Kenny next week,” I’m coming for you “,” Robertson in the BBC Scotland. “His answer was many players have said that before and still he is the main man.”
Robertson’s international trip started under Gordon Strachan in 2014 while playing for Dundee United.
Four years later, Alex Mcleish gave him the captain’s armor.
“I like to play for Scotland, displaying for each camp and I want to get as many lids as possible,” Robertson added. “Wherever he gets me, he takes me.
“Maybe Steve Clarke stops getting me. Maybe that’s how it’s over! “😅

“Just deal with what is in front of you.
“You need some luck with injuries, but I do everything I can to make sure I am in the best possible form for Liverpool and Scotland.”
Robertson’s most recent international target came in a break against Poland last November, securing a 2-1 victory in Warsaw and surpassed third in the Nations League A1 team.
Now, Scotland is facing a critical showdown against Greece to maintain their point at the top tier of the tournament.
The left back believes that the team has shown significant progress in the first team A, ending with seven points from the last three matches after a rough start.
“The championship of nations was important to us and the goal was always to reach Group A,” Robertson said. “Then we saw the rewards when we held our own against Portugal and Croatia.
“There was a lot of negativity after the euro and right.
“Was there a lot of talk around” is this end for this group? “But I think we’ve bounced very well.”
Greece, which currently took 39th place in the world-six places above Scotland-secondly behind England in the B-level Level League team for the goal difference. Robertson recognized the challenge presented.
“It’s a very good home team and don’t admit many goals,” he admitted. “It will be difficult. But we believe we can give anyone a game.”
Scotland will meet Greece again later this year in the World Cup, along with Belarus and the lost side of Portugal against Denmark.
