UEFA Euro 2020: Who is Scotland’s national football team captain?

Andrew Robertson will be leading Scotland in Euro 2020 which started on 11th June. Scotland manager Steve Clark named the 26-man squad for the mega event and handed the armband to Roberston. The left-back will be key to Scotland’s hopes for a successful Euro 2020 campaign.

Robertson will be the first player to captain Scotland in an international competition since Colin Hendry in the 1998 World Cup. He made his senior debut for the country in 2014 against Poland in a friendly fixture and was appointed as the skipper four years later. The left-back is among the world’s top players owing to his speed, energy, and crossing ability.

Also, Robertson has been an experienced campaigner for Liverpool and has represented the club in 132 matches since 2017. He made an excellent start for them winning the Player of the Match award in his debut game against Crystal Palace. Robertson was a part of the Liverpool side which won the Premier League in 2019 and also the UEFA Champions League in the same year.
