​Liverpool defender Robertson absent for Scotland's Euro 2020 qualifier

Scotland captain Andy Robertson has been ruled out of Thursday's opening Euro 2020 qualifier in Kazakhstan.

The Liverpool defender had stayed behind in Glasgow when the squad left on Sunday night to have an operation on an abscess in his mouth.

He had hoped to meet his team-mates in Astana, but will instead join them for Scotland's second match in San Marino on Sunday.
