Former Dundee United full-back Andy Robertson watched Scotland’s last meeting with England on TV in his flat in the city.
Now he is gearing up to face the Auld Enemy in person tonight when the teams clash at Celtic Park.
Robertson, who was a stand-out performer for the Scots as they beat the Republic of Ireland on Friday night, has seen and done a lot since those days in digs with his United teammates.
Now starring in the Premiership down south with Hull City, he recalled that night when he sat on the sofa dreaming of one day being out there representing Scotland.
The date was August 14 2013 and Gordon Strachan’s team twice took the lead at Wembley first through James Morrison and then Kenny Miller before eventually losing 3-2.
Robertson said: “I had just moved up to Dundee so I was in the digs with all the youth boys at United.
“There was a buzz round our wee house. We all gathered round in the living room and watched it.
“It was a good laugh. The Tartan Army went down there in great numbers. It was a great game to watch and hopefully this one can be the same.
“When I grew up the Scotland versus England game was kind of a thing of the past but we all still knew about it and the history behind it.
“The game returned last year and to be part of this one will be a great occasion.”
