Scotland manager Alex McLeish has described the new Scotland captain Andrew Robertson as a ‘real pro’ and lauds him as the ideal player to be the country’s new captain, according to TalkSPORT.
The Liverpool full-back has been brilliant over the last year for Jurgen Klopp’s side and has been rewarded for his efforts being named the new Scottish captain, taking over from Scott Brown following his retirement.
In such little time, the 24-year-old has made magnificent progress, going from the lower league in Scotland to the Champions League final to show just how quickly he has developed his game.
Robertson was signed by Liverpool from Hull City following their relegation and he has not looked back since replacing Alberto Moreno as the club’s first choice left-back.
He has 22 caps to-date scoring two goals in that time and is set to lead his side out for the first time this weekend when they face Belgium.
The Scotland boss has spoken of admiration of Robertson after handing him the captaincy:
Andy is the epitome of a true pro and he sets an amazing example. He’s had rejection before and he’s shown that spirit of never giving up. He chose to be a professional footballer and he’s living that dream.
