Andy Robertson was put on the spot after being hit with a statbomb live on air – and he offered up an apology to a Manchester United legend and Celtic title winner who slipped his mind.
The Scotland skipper was buzzing during his interview on Sky Sports after securing his second English Premier League title with Liverpool with four games to spare.
Arne Slot’s men knew they needed just a point from Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham to get over the line, but they did it in style as they responded from an early set-back to fire five past the North London outfit to send Anfield wild.
It was a real party atmosphere throughout as the fans got to celebrate this success with their heroes. Robertson is one of those who won the title under Jurgen Klopp in 2020 – but the Covid-19 lockdown saw matches played behind closed doors.
However, five years on it was party time for the Liverpool players, staff and supporters as they lapped up this triumph.
Post-match Robertson was hit with a stat that took him by surprise before admitting with the past success of Scottish players at the Reds, he felt a little pressure on his arrival to the club.
Speaking on the turf at Anfield, Sky Sports presenter David Jones said to Robertson “Andy I have been sitting on this statistic all day. You are third multiple-Premier League title winning Scotsman – do you know who the other two are?
Robbo replied: ‘Darren Fletcher I am guessing. I couldn’t tell you..”
When he is told it was Brian McClair, he responded: “Sorry Brian..”
“For me when I came to this club I know it feel a long time ago now. I’ve been here a long time now.
“When I came here you quickly realise how good Scottish players have been at this club. We are standing looking at Kenny’s [Dalglish] stand. How many legends there are from Scotland.
“There is a little bit of pressure with that but I kind of of just took that on board.
“Also, I don’t think Liverpool have ever won a trophy without a Scottish player in it. So I am glad I managed to continue that.
“I won’t be anywhere near Kenny but I am glad I have won a few trophies here and I am just delighted I can just kind of carry that forward.”
