Robertson knows Greeks were bearing gifts but he says Clarke's side can - and will - play better against Belarus

- BY SCOTT MCDERMOTT

ANDY ROBERTSON could feel the Tartan Army's frustration.

For most of the match against Greece, the Scotland crowd were simply silent. And at 1-0 down, the groans started as fans began to see their World Cup dream slip away.

The captain could have no complaints at that stage - Steve Clarke's side were second best.

But half an hour later it was a different story, three points were in the bag and Hampden was euphoric.

By the end of the game, the Tartan Army were roaring again as Robertson and Co sent them home happy.

And the left-back wants to hear them again tomorrow, only this time at the start of their clash with Belarus.

Clarke’s men have seven points from three games already but another victory could really put them in the driving seat for Mexico, Canada and USA 2026.

Robertson accepts the team will have to perform better. But he has urged the home crowd to get behind from the outset and ensure they stay unbeaten in Group C.

He said: “We felt the frustration from the fans, which is never good. But we completely understood it.

“We could also feel the emotions they had at the end of the game and that’s the most important thing. Everyone went back home

or to the pub celebrating three points. It’s another step closer to hopefully achieving our dreams. That's the kind of intensity we need on Sunday.
