Internationals: Andy Robertson captains Scotland to World Cup qualification


Liverpool's Andy Robertson helped Scotland qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1998 on Tuesday evening.



The Reds full-back captained his nation in their deciding clash against Denmark at Hampden Park in Group C.


Scotland struck twice in added time in what transpired to be a topsy-turvy encounter as they sealed a dramatic 4-2 victory to secure their place at next summer's tournament.


"That just sums up this squad. It's never-say-die and we just keep going," Robertson told BBC Sport post-match.


"We keep going right to the end and it's one of the craziest games of football and we've certainly put the country through it. I'm sure it was well worth it - we're going to the World Cup! I can't believe it."


Elsewhere, goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili featured for Georgia in a 2-1 defeat by Bulgaria as they concluded their involvement in Group E.


Earlier in the day, Wataru Endo completed the full match as Japan beat Bolivia 3-0 in a friendly meeting.


At U21 level in European Championship qualifying, Trent Kone-Doherty was involved in Republic of Ireland's 4-0 loss to Andorra, while Kieran Morrison played in Northern Ireland's 4-0 defeat by Greece.


Armin Pecsi, meanwhile, was selected in goal for Hungary as they were beaten 2-0 by Croatia.


For England U19s, Trey Nyoni started, while Rio Ngumoha was a late substitute for the Young Lions, who overcame Scotland 4-0 in Euros qualifying.
