Robertson: I want to lead Scotland out at a championship

The newly-appointed captain says he wants to take his country to a major tournament while wearing the armband

New Scotland captain Andy Robertson has set his sights on qualification for a major tournament as he seeks to etch his name into the national team’s football history.

The Liverpool left-back has been handed the armband by manager Alex McLeish and is aiming to lead Scotland to a first finals appearance since the 1998 World Cup in France.

He also revealed that a conversation with former captain and Stoke City midfielder Darren Fletcher helped shape and solidify his ambition for the national team.
