Andy Robertson tells Scotland they MUST qualify for Euros as blowing dream start would be unthinkable now

Andy Robertson has told his Scotland teammates they HAVE to qualify for the Euros after their flying start to the campaign.

Steve Clarke's side are in pole position to reach Euro 2024 after surging ahead at the top of Group A with three wins from their first three games. It looked like their winning run was to be halted by Erling Haaland after he netted a second half penalty in the stifling Oslo to give Norway the lead.

But the Man City superstar was left dismayed when, after being taken off for the closing stages, he could only watch on as Lyndon Dykes levelled late on before Kenny McLean struck a sensational winner two minutes later to send the Tartan Army tonto and Scotland out on their own at the top of the table. We are now eight points clear of down and out Norway, with Spain six points off the pace in third but with a game in hand.

Next up is Georgia at Hampden on Tuesday, who went second with a win over Cyprus. But the Scots can hit double figure points with a victory and would be in an almost insurmountable position at the head of the pack.

And Robertson believes not making it to Germany from this position is now unthinkable. He said: "The lads who came off the bench did so well. Going behind is difficult, but we knew this was the next step in our improvement.

"It was trying to get the balance right. The team spirit is second to none. To create that in international football is unique.

"We couldn't have started this campaign better. We have to qualify now."
