Liverpool fullback Robertson: Personal criticism now stronger

Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson isn't taking criticism with Scotland to heart.

Scotland, who are currently managed by former Liverpool assistant manger, Steve Clarke, have suffered an indifferent start to their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign, with Friday's 2-1 defeat to Russia the latest setback.

Robertson said: "Being criticised, rightly or wrongly, it's maybe stronger now that I'm captain.

"But these are things I'm made for. If people criticise me, it's fine. I'd prefer they didn't because it means I've put in a good performance, but sometimes that doesn't always go your way.

"Some games as captain I've not been good enough, some I have been, but that's me to look at my own performance. That's what I've looked at over the last few games.

"I don't like getting beat anyway, but on Friday I maybe dwelled on it longer than usual. I've learned a lot. Good things and bad things."
