Andy Robertson tells Tartan Army Scotland want to feel the love again and it all starts with a top showing vs Poland
Andy Robertson admits Scotland must prove the doubters wrong and ensure they feel the love of the Tartan Army again.
The skipper admits there’s making up to do with the loyal support after a dismal Euro 2024 campaign. Over a hundred thousand fans flocked to Germany hoping to see history made and Steve Clarke’s side qualify for the latter stages of a major tournament for the first time. But they were left gutted as Clarke’s troops fell at the first hurdle and managed just one point from three group games.
That flop made it just one win in 12 games stretching back a full calendar year and saw huge sections of the support lose faith in the manager. It doesn’t get any easier with a Nations League top tier campaign kicking off at home to Poland on Thursday night. But Robertson - who said the team felt the love of the punters who were voted the best in the Euros - says it’s time to give the fans something to shout about again.
He said: “This summer was a low for all of us. We have to move on from it and if we weren’t positive there’s no point us being here. We might have some doubters again within our country. We felt the country right behind us in the summer and we get that they’re disappointed.
“Now it’s up to us to try and drag them along with us again. Top show on the pitch we’re willing to fight and put in the hard yards. We know if we do that the fans will come with us as well. In the summer we saw so many great moments of them supporting us.
“We want that again. We felt the love in the summer. We were all disappointed in the end but it’s up to us to try and feel the love again. For us to do that we know we need to perform. We know there’s now pressure on us to perform. That starts on Thursday.”
