ANDY ROBERTSON says it doesn't matter where Scotland plays - as long as the Tartan Army are there.

Much of the build up to this Sunday's World Cup crunch with Slovenia has revolved around questions over Hampden's future.

The National Stadium continues to fail to inspire punters due to the outdated facilities, poor vantage point and lack of atmosphere.

The prospect of it being half full for this crucial match won't be much inspiration for the SFA who continue to ponder whether or not to renew their lease on the Glasgow stadium in three years' time.

Hull and Scotland left-back Robertson knows Hampden more than most. After plying his trade their for Queen's Park and now the national side, the 23-year-old says he will always be fond of playing at the Mount Florida ground.

However, he insists the venue of the future for the national team is of little significance provided the supporters turn up in big numbers to back theire team.

He said: “It’s much different from when I was there with Queen’s Park, I’ll tell you that!

“Back then there was only about 300 people there so you felt you were just playing in front of yourself.

“I enjoy going to Hampden with Scotland. It’s the national stadium.

“If it was up to me the fans could maybe be a wee bit closer to the pitch. When we played at Ibrox and Parkhead, especially right behind the goals, the fans can be right on top of you, it can make a difference.

“At the end of the day, though, as long as we are performing on the pitch the fans will make a noise no matter how far away they are.

“You know what the Tartan Army are like when we are playing well. Even when we are not playing well they get behind us and make lots of noise. The stadium doesn’t make a difference in that sense.

“But I like Hampden. The pitch is big, the stadium is brilliant.

“Whatever happens, whether they move or get the lease again is irrelevant to players, because whatever stadium we play at we will be well supported.

“That’s all that matters.”
