Liverpool defender Robertson rejects Rodri Scotland blast: Spain players kept rolling around

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has hit back at Rodri after his criticism of the Scotland national team.

Scotland defeated Spain 2-0 at home in a Euro 2024 Qualifier at Hampden Park on Tuesday.

Rather than admitting his opponents played an impressive game, Rodri complained about the Scots' playing style and said they were “rubbish."

In his own post-match interview, Liverpool left-back Robertson hit back.

"Yeah look, I think they were going down a little bit easily, we were trying to say that," Robertson told Viaplay Sports.

"We were always going to try to be physical, we wanted to be in their faces, win our headers and challenges and I think we did that.

"I don't think we crossed the line. They were, especially in the first half, rolling about a wee bit much but they use their experience and they got a couple of us booked which is fair enough to them."
