120 Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson was in international action on Friday night as Scotland took on the Netherlands in Amsterdam.
The Reds star, 30, has been instrumental for both Jurgen Klopp’s side and for Steve Clarke’s charges in recent years.
Admittedly, things haven’t gone quite so smoothly for Robertson this season, due to a shoulder injury that ruled him out for much of the campaign.
However, the Liverpool ace is now back in action and eager to help the Reds achieve yet more glory in Klopp’s last season at Anfield.
And this summer, Robertson will look to captain Scotland to a memorable Euro 2024, having also helped his nation reach the tournament in 2021.
On Friday, Scotland took on the Netherlands at the Johan Cruyff Arena and gave a decent account of themselves for the opening hour or so.
However, they subsequently crumbled as the Oranje scored three times in the final 20 minutes for a resounding 4-0 win.
How did the Scottish press rate Liverpool star Andrew Robertson?
Despite the heavy defeat, Robertson played fairly well and escaped criticism from the Scottish press in their post-match ratings pieces.
For instance, the Edinburgh Evening News gave the Liverpool ace a 7 out of 10 rating on the night.
‘A few wayward crosses but did really well to exploit Jeremie Frimpong’s attacking desires,’ they wrote.
‘More precise balls into the box could have cut Netherlands wide open.’
Meanwhile, The Scotsman – also awarding a 7 out of 10 – wrote: ‘What an engine the skipper has.
‘Up and down that left flank all day and causing real problems for the Dutch’s right hand side.’
Robertson will no doubt be content with his performance, but he’ll not be in any mood to celebrate.
However, the Liverpool ace and his compatriots have the chance to put it right fairly quickly.
Scotland take on Northern Ireland in a friendly at Hampden Park on Tuesday night.
