Time for others to step up like Robertson - McLeish

Former Scotland manager Alex McLeish says the national team need more players to step up like "stalwart" captain Andy Roberston.

McLeish made Robertson skipper in 2018 and the left-back is close to breaking Kenny Dalglish's caps record for the men's team.

Sebastien Pocognoli has won one, drawn one and lost two of his Scotland games in charge so far.

"He's trying to do something," McLeish said of Belgian Pocognoli.

"He's trying to put his own identity into the team so I get that, totally, but the main thing is just win.

"The fans are always there for Scotland. We've got no doubts about that at all. It's just about the players on the field now getting to their best levels.

"Andy Robertson's been an absolute stalwart over the years and it's now time for other people to wear his shoes."
