What Kenny Dalglish has told Andy Robertson recently about him potentially breaking his major record

Andy Robertson has had an impressive football career.
The left-back has won everything there is to win at club level with Liverpool and has represented Scotland at international tournaments, which many before him have not had the privilege of doing.
The 2024/45 campaign has not been the best for the defender and it has resulted in Liverpool looking for a new left-back to add to Arne Slot’s squad ahead of next season.
However, Robertson is unlikely to leave Liverpool and will enhance his legendary career at Anfield over the coming weeks by adding another Premier League medal to his collection.
The defender is also closing in on an impressive Scotland record and it is one every Scottish footballer dreams of holding.
Andy Robertson is closing on a major Scotland record
Scotland will play Greece twice over the March international break as Steve Clark’s team look to remain in League A of the UEFA Nations League.
Should he play, the two games will see Robertson’s appearances for Scotland boosted to 82, moving the left-back into third position on the list of the nation’s all-time leading appearance-makers.
The only two names left ahead of the Liverpool star are Jim Leighton (91) and Reds legend Kenny Daglish, who featured for his country and impressive 102 times.
Robertson turned 31 last week and having such an important role in the Scotland team, the left-back has a strong chance of breaking the record.
The defender is aware of this and therefore, the Liverpool defender has started to wind Dalglish up about it when he sees the legendary figure around Anfield.
Kenny Dalglish’s funny response to Andy Robertson’s taunts
Speaking about the record ahead of Scotland’s first match with Greece on Thursday, Robertson shared a funny interaction he had with Daglish recently.
“No, I’m not denying it,” Robertson said when asked by the BBC about looking ahead at becoming Scotland’s all-time leading appearance maker.
“I actually said it to Kenny Dalglish the other weak. I said: ‘I’m coming for you’. And his reply was: ‘Plenty of players have said that to me before and I’m still the main man’. That is typical Kenny fashion.”
Robertson faces a tough task in trying to reach Dalglish’s total as it will likely require the left-back to remain injury-free, while Scotland will also have to qualify for major tournaments.
It would be an incredible achievement should the 31-year-old get there and Daglish will likely be the first man to congratulate him if he does.
