ANDY Robertson has clinched a dream £10million move to English giants Liverpool and become a father for the first time in the past few weeks.

But the Scotland left-back, set to line up at left back in the Russia 2018 qualifier against Lithuania in Vilnius this evening, is not content to sit back and relax.

He is hoping to cap the most momentous year of his life by helping to take his country to their first World Cup Finals in 20 years in the coming weeks.

“To sign for Liverpool, become a dad and then qualify for a World Cup would just be a whirlwind,” he said. It would be an incredible year for all the lads.

“We think we've got the quality to do it. We just need to get three points from Lithuania then take it from there. We'll then focus on Malta on Monday but we've got a job to do here first.

“Ultimately, we'd love to get over the finishing line and get to Russia. To get the fans and the country to a World Cup would be unbelievable.

“The last few weeks have been great, such an exciting time for myself and my family. It's been stressful as well with the move to Liverpool three weeks from my missus's due date. But it's been brilliant.”

Robertson, 23, has revealed how his move to Liverpool has been made easier by the help of a Scotland legend – all-time Anfield great Kenny Dalglish.

“After the Crystal Palace game, I went to meet my parents and girlfriend – and Kenny Dalglish was with them,” he said.

“I managed to get a 10-minute chat with him and he was great for me. He told me that if my family or I needed anything at Liverpool he'd be there for me.

“Kenny's got a stand named after him at that club, he can do anything there, he's a legend.

“So to have someone like that to help me and talk me through things is amazing. It was a pleasure to meet him and hopefully I'll see a lot more of him.”

Robertson is hopeful the experience of playing with a club like Liverpool will help him when he meets up with the Scotland squad in future.

“The size of the club is just mental,” he said. “We went to Dublin for a pre-season friendly and we sold out the Aviva Stadium. That's the effect Liverpool has around the world, it's incredible.

“We went to Germany and we had 2,000 people watching the training, standing outside gates trying to get pictures. That's something I've never been used to but that's how big Liverpool is, it's worldwide. I need to get used to it.

“Being able to play for this massive club is a huge honour for me. Liverpool is another step up for me. The training is a different standard because you go up against world class players. Then you're playing alongside them on a Saturday. It's really lifted my game.

“We'll be winning more games than we lose and I haven't had that too often, except the Championship season with Hull. In the Premier League we were always fighting relegation but now hopefully we'll be up at the top of the league.

“If I can bring that kind of mentality to the Scotland squad, it will only help us. The Celtic boys have it as well and it can only help the country as a whole.”
