There have been a few tension-filled, high-pressure, must-win Scotland matches since Andy Robertson came on to replace Barry Bannan in the 67th minute of a friendly against Poland in the National Stadium in Warsaw way back on March 5, 2014.

So Robertson, a gnarled veteran of epic tussles with the likes of Republic of Ireland, Austria, Israel, Serbia, England, Croatia, Ukraine, Spain, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Morocco and Brazil, will not be fazed at the prospect of becoming only the second man in his country’s history to make a century of appearances here in Skopje this evening.
