Scotland in good shape ahead of Ireland qualifier - Hull full-back Robertson

Scotland's Andy Robertson is in a confident mood ahead of next weekend's Euro2016 qualifier with the Republic of Ireland.

The Scots tuned up for the Aviva Stadium clash with their British rivals with a 1-0 friendly win over Qatar on Friday and Hull City full-back Robertson feels it was a good hit-out for he and his teammates.

"We've got to build up that winning mentality. It doesn't matter who we are playing against, Qatar were a good outfit," he said.

"We always knew Qatar was just to get our fitness up. We were always looking forward to the big one on Saturday.

"We'll meet back up on Monday and look forward to the week ahead and I'm sure it will build up and the country will get excited again."
