Andy Robertson out of Scotland’s first Euro 2020 qualifier

Andy Robertson will miss Scotland’s opening 2020 European Championship qualifier with Kazakhstan on Thursday but will join up with the team in San Marino on Friday.

The former Dundee United left-back missed the team flight to Astana with a dental problem which required surgery but there were suggestions he could make his own way and be ready for the match.

However, the Scottish Football Association confirmed he will be absent for the Group I opener but will be available for the match against San Marino three days later.

Scotland captain Robertson played for Liverpool in the Premier League win over Fulham on Sunday and is set to be replaced at left-back by Kieran Tierney.
