Andy Robertson makes honest admission over his Scotland performances

Scotland national team lost 1-2 to Russia in the Euro 2020 qualifying round on Friday and Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has admitted that his performances have "not been good enough" since his appointment as captain. Currently Scotland are 4th in their group with just 6 points and the result against Russia leaves them with a difficult task to qualify.

"Being criticised, rightly or wrongly, it's maybe stronger now that I'm captain," said Robertson. "But these are things I'm made for. If people criticise me, it's fine. I'd prefer they didn't because it means I've put in a good performance - but sometimes that doesn't always go your way. "Some games as captain I've not been good enough, some I have been, but that's me to look at my own performance. That's what I've looked at over the last few games. "I don't like getting beaten anyway, but on Friday I maybe dwelled on it longer than usual. I've learned a lot. Good things and bad things." "I said a year ago what a big honour it was, that's not changed," Robertson added. "I'm delighted to be the captain of this country, I love doing it and I hope the lads think I'm doing a good job. "There's also negatives that come along with it that I need to deal with and it's about learning how to deal with them. I think I'm getting better at that."
