learned football the hard way,
released by Celtic, then joins Queens Park from Scotland’s 3rd tier,
playing in front of 500 people in crap stadiums with little resources,
it builds character, he appreciates where he is as he worked hard for it via Dundee Utd and Hull City, and he’s going to enjoy every minute of it
a lot of pampered youth players could learn a lot from him
He does have a lot of miles in his legs, but yeah, it’s not like he’s 35. We’ll see what happens this season and next summer. I don’t think nothing is decided yet where he will be next season.

“I’m relaxed about the whole situation. If it is my last year, then it’s my last year. If it’s not, then so be it. I had a bit of a stressful summer in terms of decisions. I’ve said to myself to just try and enjoy the next few months and then obviously it will start probably taking over my life. That’s what happens when you go into your last six months.”
So delighted Scotland are going to the World Cup, particualry for Robbo.
Just heard his interview with BBC, said he had Jota on his mind all day today…heartbreaking but also heartwarming.

I need to start with a confession. Not many things bug me, but if there’s one thing that does, it’s the idea that my story is a football fairy tale. I know when people say I’m some sort of Cinderella Man that it’s meant as a compliment. I appreciate that, but to be totally honest, it doesn’t feel like one, because it isn’t true. No magic wands have been waved in my direction, I didn’t win some kind of lottery to land a spot on one of the biggest clubs in the world. The reason why I’m a Liverpool player is the same reason why I’m captain of my country: I’ve worked my bollocks off to get where I am, and by doing that, I’ve been able to make the most of whatever talent I have. Why does this matter? In truth, it doesn’t matter to me as an individual. It probably doesn’t matter to my family, either. It only matters because there are God knows how many little Andy Robertsons out there. Kids who are struggling to convince people that their talent deserves an opportunity. Kids who just need a break to get to wherever they deserve to be. Kids who might give up if they start believing that only a fairy tale can save them. I’ve never wanted to be a poster boy, but if I’m going to be a poster boy for anything, it should be this ― if you don’t give up, and if you carry on believing in yourself when others are doubting you, you can make it. You can show that you are good enough.’

Many thanks @ BBC Scotland for the subtitles
Well said,Andy!
Before Robertson became captain in 2018, Scotland hadn’t qualified for the Euros since 1996 and for the WC since 1998.
Fast forward to now and Scotland has back to back qualifications to Euro tournaments and is returning to a WC as group winner.
I mind when he was first linked to us,
There were alot of forum members on TIA saying
Who? WTF? he plays for Hull City who have just been relegated
I thinked it turned out quite well
Think he might be Liverpool greatest ever signing.
There have been many better players brought in by the club, but none of them were swapped for Kev Stewart.
Many lesser players would have wilted in the pressure of trying to fill those shoes. It took a real legend in the making to say “i’ll make those fans forget about Kev, better than Gerrard, Stewart”.
12 more caps to go before he catches King Kenny (though McGinn might also go past him), imagine telling Robbo that when he wasn’t sure how his career would go and if there would be one. Proud of him.

This team. These boys. My brothers. What a group to be part of. And with the gaffer, and all the staff - we’re a family 
The team and the Tartan Army. We made Hampden shake and filled our wee nation with joy. Together.
If you could bottle a feeling, this would be right at the top of the list. A dream turned reality. I’m bursting with pride at what we achieved together for our country. We believed in ourselves and we done it!!
It’s an absolute privilege and honour to be captain of this group of incredible human beings, love every single one of them! 
We’ll be coming alright. Canada, USA and Mexico, get ready… Scotland are on their way 
The Tartan Army might just be the thing to put the ICE agents back in their box… :0)
Tartar army.
This must mean so much for Robbo. I’m thoroughly glad for him that he’ll be there for this occasion. If one player deserves it, it’s him.
Been my favourite for years, it’s been hard hopefully he is able to not only continue but mentor Kerkez through his tough period.
Fully agree with all of that.
Wonder what not only Robbo, but what Gio also thinks when they see Kerkez, apart from a few aspects of him. Whether their help will make significant a difference going forward, I’m not sure.
