Liverpool defender Andy Robertson confesses he did not watch the World Cup group stage after failing to qualify for the tournament with Scotland.
The Tartan Army watched on in dismay as Ukraine won 3-1 at Hampden Park in June to eliminate Scotland and set up a clash with Wales, who ultimately qualified for Qatar. This means Robertson, who captained his nation to a goalless draw with England at Euro 2020, has had an unusual midseason break while many of his club teammates are in the Middle East.
The 28-year-old went on holiday with his wife, Rachel, and their two children before he was summoned to Dubai as part of Jurgen Klopp's 33-man squad for warm-weather training. Robertson admits he welcomed his time away from football and chose not to watch much of the World Cup, but has since begun tuning into international games.
