""I've hid it well, but today I've been in bits," the 31-year-old said. "I know the age I'm at, this could be my last chance to go to the World Cup. "I couldn't get my mate Diogo Jota out of my head today. We spoke so much about going to the World Cup because he missed the last one with Portugal and I did with Scotland. I know he'll be smiling over me today.""
"Robertson started his career at Scottish lower league side Queen's Park playing part-time football. The left-back made his debut against Berwick Rangers in the Ramsdens Cup in front of 372 at Shielfield Park as a left-winger. He tweeted during at this time at Queen's Park, "Life at this age is rubbish with no money. #need a job". Robertson had a string of part-time jobs including working on the tills at UK department store Marks and Spencer and working in the box office at Scotland's home, Hampden Park."
Andy Robertson reacted emotionally after helping Scotland reach the World Cup, saying his age may mean this is his last chance and mentioning teammate Diogo Jota. Robertson began at Queen's Park as a part-time player and debuted as a left-winger in the Ramsdens Cup before juggling jobs at Marks and Spencer and Hampden Park. He joined Dundee United in 2013, recorded five assists, helped the team to fourth place and a Scottish Cup final, then moved to Hull City for just under £3 million and made his Premier League debut in August 2014.
