Robertson believes Scotland can achieve its goal, laying the foundation for qualifying for the World Cup's final 32.


The second round of Group C matches in the 2026 World Cup will take place, with Scotland traveling to Gillette Stadium to face a formidable Morocco. Premier League star Andy Robertson stated that he believes the "Highland Warriors" are capable of advancing to the World Cup Round of 32, and the players are full of confidence.


Scotland secured a crucial 3 points in their last group stage match, defeating Haiti 1-0 thanks to McGinn's goal amidst a goalmouth scramble. Furthermore, Steve Clarke's team currently tops Group C, laying a solid foundation for advancing to the round of 32.


Scotland captain Andrew Robertson said, "We want to be the first Scottish national team to reach the knockout stage of the World Cup. We are about to face one of the best teams in the world, but we believe we can make it difficult for any opponent. If we can do that and play our best, then I believe we can get the result we want, and hopefully we will be the ones to make history."


Speaking about Morocco, ranked 6th in the FIFA world rankings, Robertson said, "We know they are a very good team, threatening in every position on the pitch. They performed exceptionally well in the last World Cup, and they are not only the pride of Morocco, but also the pride of all African football. Of course, they also performed very well in the most recent Africa Cup of Nations."


"But we also believe in ourselves. If we didn't have that belief, we wouldn't have made it here. During the qualifiers, sometimes the outside world didn't think we could win, but we always believed we could do it. We must focus on our performance. Our goal is to win, and their goal is to win too. We hope that when the final whistle blows, we will be the ones smiling."


Furthermore, Scotland manager Steve Clarke, speaking about Robertson, said, "Robertson is a true leader, and he's really important to the cohesion of the whole team. The players respect him, not only for his performance on the pitch, but also for everything he does off the pitch. He, along with the other senior players, sets and maintains a high standard for the team."


“We are gradually nurturing a new generation of young players, the next generation of Scottish football. If they can all learn from the attitude and spirit that Robertson showed when he represented the national team, then Scottish football will be in a very good position in the future.”
