Robertson aims to make history for Scotland with his teammates.

Scotland, the "Highland Warriors," will face Brazil at Hard Rock Stadium in the third round of Group C at the 2026 World Cup. Robertson expressed his excitement for the match and his hope to make history for the national team with his teammates.

In the last round of group matches, Scotland conceded a goal in the first half but were unable to change the score in the remaining time, ultimately losing 0-1 to Morocco. After losing 3 points, Scotland is currently ranked 3rd in Group C with 3 points, one point behind leaders Brazil.

As for Brazil, the "Samba Army" defeated Haiti 3-0 in the last round after Cunha and Vinicius scored.

Scotland captain Neil Robertson said, "This is a match we've been really looking forward to. We'll be facing a football powerhouse, one of the most iconic nations in World Cup history, and the team with the most World Cup titles."

"But at the same time, this game also gives us the opportunity to realize our dreams. We hope to make history for this small country, and tomorrow we will have that opportunity."

With the end of the 2025/26 season, 32-year-old Robertson left Liverpool after many years and joined another Premier League team, Tottenham Hotspur, earlier this month.

Speaking of his longtime Liverpool teammate Alisson, Robertson said, "I've been very fortunate to play with Alisson for the past eight years. He always stepped up to help us in crucial moments."

“Even when our defense is at its best, the opponents still occasionally get chances, but we always manage to make the saves thanks to Alisson. He is an incredible goalkeeper, and an even better person. I admire him a lot, and I also admire his family. I am very fortunate to have a close relationship with them; they are all wonderful people.”

In addition, Robertson joked, "I hope he might retrieve the ball from the net more often than usual tomorrow, maybe twice or so. But to me, he is the best goalkeeper in the world, and has been for many years."

"Whether as a player or as an individual, my evaluation of him will only be higher. But as I said, I hope he doesn't keep a clean sheet tomorrow."
