Andy Robertson's Last Shot at World Cup Glory
Scotland captain Andy Robertson is set to lead his team against Brazil in a crucial group stage match, which could be his last shot at World Cup glory.
What's at Stake?
This World Cup represents the last major chapter of Robertson's career, and he will be 36 by the next World Cup. Scotland has never advanced from a group stage, and Robertson's generation is the first with a real chance to change that.
A Career Defined by Grit and Perseverance
Over the course of his 14-year professional career, Robertson has become one of the best fullbacks in the world. He was released by Celtic at 15, but he kept on, joining Queen's Park FC and eventually making his way to Liverpool in 2017.
A Leader on the Pitch
Robertson has worn the armband longer than any captain before him, and he will be tasked with leading Scotland into its most important match in decades. He has been very lucky in playing massive games for Liverpool and Scotland, and he has been lucky in playing Champions League finals.
The Road to the Knockout Stage
Scotland opened the group stage with a 1-0 win over Haiti, but they were then defeated by Morocco. Now, everything comes down to Brazil in Miami on Wednesday. Scotland can clinch a spot in the knockout stage with a win, and a draw would likely be enough.
A Lasting Legacy
Robertson's international future beyond this summer remains unknown, but he will lead Scotland out of the tunnel against Brazil, wearing the armband and singing "Flower of Scotland" at least one more time.
What Comes Next?
Scotland's next fixture is against Slovenia on September 26, 2026. The team will be looking to build on their performance against Brazil and make a push for the knockout stage.
Last result: Scotland 0-3 Brazil (2026-06-24). Recent form (last 5): 3W-0D-2L (LLWWW, most recent first); lost the last 2. Next fixture: vs Slovenia (away, 2026-09-26).
