Andy Robertson admitted that representing Scotland has provided a vital reprieve during a difficult domestic campaign. The left-back has lost his regular starting position at Liverpool this season under the management of Arne Slot. Robertson has often featured on the bench for the Premier League club, with Kostas Tsimikas frequently preferred in the defensive line, according to Sky Sports.
The defender stated that the highs of captaining his national team kept him motivated while he struggled for minutes at Anfield. He remains a central figure for Scotland as they prepare for upcoming international fixtures. Robertson noted that the environment within the national squad helped him maintain his focus and professional standards, per The Guardian.
Liverpool currently sit at the top of the Premier League table as they pursue the title. Despite his reduced role at club level, the 32-year-old remains committed to regaining his place in the starting eleven. He has made 18 league appearances so far this term, with five of those coming as a substitute.
