Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson was prepared to pay his own way to make Scotland's clash with Kazakhstan after undergoing mouth surgery.

The Daily Mail says he WILL make himself available for Sunday's clash with Group I minnows San Marino in Serravalle.

Robertson took a black cab straight to Heathrow following Liverpool's 2-1 Premier League win over Fulham on Sunday, having failed to find a doctor able to operate immediately in London.

He had to wait until Monday morning for a slot at Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

Despite the delay, and disregarding the fact that his club would clearly rather he spent the full week recovering on a beach, Robertson asked SFA officials if they could arrange commercial flights — going against medical advice — enabling him to catch up with the squad in time for Thursday's group opener.

That was ruled out on a combination of medical and bureaucratic grounds, leaving the 25-year-old distraught.
