Robertson: It was nice the boys clapped me in... but I just wanted my dinner

The Champions League winner’s medal is still glistening in Andy Robertson’s back pocket. He received a standing ovation from Scotland team-mates before dinner at the team hotel this week.

“I walked in just as dinner was starting and all the staff and players clapped me in, which was nice,” said Robertson. “You could tell they were all genuinely delighted for me and it was a nice feeling. Because if it gives them a good feeling as well, then that's nice.

“It doesn't take anything extra to know you have done something good but it was an added thing, maybe just as I was having a small come down from the weekend I'd had. That sort of picked me back up again.”

Not that this young man is the sort to milk his achievements. “I definitely didn't lap it up,” he said. “I was just trying to find a spare seat as quickly as I could!

“I'm not a person who wants to be the centre of attention or anything like that,” Robertson added. “But it was nice from all the lads and the staff. I appreciated it, but I couldn't wait to just sit down and have my dinner.”
