Robertson, who came through the ranks at Celtic, is now the captain of Scotland.
Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has told Open Goal that he has learned a lot from Celtic captain Scott Brown after being named the Scotland skipper by Alex McLeish.
The 24-year-old broke into the Liverpool side last season, and played in the Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid on the left side of defence for Jurgen Klopp’s men.
Since his appearance in the biggest European match, Robertson was given the captain’s armband for Scotland after Brown retired from international duty.
Speaking to former Celtic midfielder Si Ferry, Robertson spoke of how much he learned from the Celtic veteran and just how good the former Hibernian midfielder was on the pitch and in the dressing room.
“Yes, learned a lot off him [Brown]”, Robertson said. “He was brilliant at everything, honestly everything because in the big games he always stepped up. If you look at the big games, Broony was probably always man of the match or up there and that is the most important job.
“He was just our driving force in the midfield and then off the pitch, he always got the lads going and was obviously professional and made sure we did everything right.
“We were quite lucky at that time because Darren Fletcher came back in the squad as well so we basically had two captains.”
Robertson captained McLeish’s Scotland to a 4-0 win in Albania on Saturday evening, thanks to goals from Ryan Fraser, Steven Fletcher and a brace from Celtic’s James Forrest.
The former Hull City defender will be in action on Tuesday evening, as Scotland go up against Israel in a crucial UEFA Nations League clash against Israel in League C, Group 1.
