Liverpool’s Andy Robertson shares a heartfelt message about Diogo Jota after securing World Cup qualification.

Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson admitted he couldn’t stop thinking about his late teammate Diogo Jota in the build-up to Scotland’s crucial game last night.

The Scotland captain was visibly emotional after his side produced a dramatic 4–2 win over Denmark to book their place at the 2026 World Cup — the nation’s first men’s appearance at the tournament in 28 years.

Speaking afterwards, Robertson dedicated the moment to Jota, who tragically passed away in a car accident during the summer. He revealed that the two had often spoken about reaching this World Cup together.

“I’ve hidden it well, but I’ve been in bits today,” Robertson told the BBC. “I know this could be my last chance to play at a World Cup. I couldn’t get my mate Diogo Jota out of my head — we talked so much about being here after both missing the last tournament. I know he’ll be smiling today.”

Scotland sealed their qualification in style, with standout goals including a bicycle kick from Scott McTominay, a late curler from Kieran Tierney, and a stunning long-range lob by Kenny McLean.

It was a historic night for Scotland, and attention now turns to what this underrated squad can achieve on the world stage in the United States next summer.
