Andy Robertson has said that Scotland's game against England won't have the usual friendly atmosphere but can't wait to get involved

Scotland left-back Andy Robertson is hopeful Gordon Strachan’s side will be able to continue their good form by beating old rivals England at Celtic Park on Tuesday.

The Scots claimed a crucial 1-0 victory over the Republic of Ireland in their European Qualifier on Friday and are now looking to complete a famous double.

Robertson said: “The adrenalin is still kind of pumping through us all and we have got a massive game on Tuesday which everyone is looking forward to, so hopefully that can just keep going and we can put in another good performance.

“Since Gordon has come in I think all the boys have been brilliant, and so has he. We can just go out there and try and enjoy the game and experience and see what result we get.

“When I grew up the Scotland v England game was kind of a thing of the past, but we all grew up still knowing about it and knowing the history behind it. It will be a great occasion to be involved in and I am looking forward to it.”

Scotland are in a tough Euro 2016 qualifying group which also includes Germany and Poland, whereas England look set to qualify comfortably from Group E after winning their opening four matches.

Robertson added: “I think both teams won’t treat it as a friendly. It will be a competitive game as such and I think both teams will approach it in the same way regardless of what groups we are in.

“It’s a massive occasion for both teams and we are both trying to keep our good form going, so we will see what happens.”

Robertson will return to his club Hull City on a high - alongside team-mate Allan McGregor - if Scotland do win.

The 20-year-old said: “I can maybe go back down with a smile on my face and have the bragging rights with the English boys. There are a few Irish boys there so when we go back, if we can beat England as well, there will be a big smile on mine and Allan’s face.”
