Andy Robertson reckons Scotland critics 'couldn't wait' to savage Germany showing

Andy Robertson reckons Scotland's critics "couldn't wait" to let them have it after their Germany mauling last week - but he's vowed to put it right.

The nation's captain and his teammates were annihilated by the Euros' hosts in a 5-1 drubbing in Munich which left their hopes of qualifying out the group hanging by a thread. It's essentially must-win against the Swiss in Cologne, says Robertson, but he's also out to silence those pundits who stuck the boot in after the defeat in the opening fixture.

The Liverpool left-back knows his side are far better than they showed last Friday and if they can get back to playing how they feel they can, Robbo reckons there's a good chance of a positive result against the Swiss.

"There might be people on the outside who didn't hold much hope for us anyway and on Friday that took even more of a knock but we have belief in our squad that we have quality and can do things we didn't do on Friday," he said.

"That's what we've got to get back to and what we've been working on. We didn't show up properly but we also saw a very good team perform at the highest level in front of their home fans opening a tournament. It was always gonna be difficult but we made it worse by not showing up the way we expected to.

"It's easy to talk about a game of football, it's not as easy to go out and do it. We need action. There was a lot of talk after the game, a lot of people critical and a lot from the outside couldn't wait to dip into it, but that's fine, they get paid to do that, we respect it. But we have to act."
