Scotland's team leader - Robertson aims for legendary recognition: Potential to become the initial one.

In preparation for Scotland's second consecutive appearance in the European Championship, captain Andy Robertson expressed his excitement and aspirations for the country to achieve something remarkable. "It's a fantastic feeling to have qualified twice in a row. We're hoping to make history," said the Liverpool left-back on Thursday evening.

Despite the country's past struggles in reaching beyond the group stage, Robertson, 30, acknowledged the possibility of attaining legendary status if Scotland can overcome this hurdle. "The biggest disappointment would be to join other renowned Scotland teams that failed to reach this point. But if we manage to do it, it'll be extra special."

Robertson looks forward to returning to Munich, where he helped Liverpool secure the UEFA Champions League title in 2019. "I'm excited to be back at the Allianz Arena," he said. "Jurgen Klopp, our coach at the time, will also be there on Friday. Hopefully, he'll enjoy the match."

Anticipation for Friday's opening game against the Czech Republic fuels their motivation. Steve Clarke, Scotland's coach, echoed Robertson's sentiments. "We're facing a strong team, but we believe we're capable of achieving something remarkable. To qualify for the championship two years in a row is an accomplishment to be proud of."

Scotland's supporters play a crucial role in motivating the national team, and their presence is estimated to reach 200,000 throughout the tournament. "It's amazing to see so much support from our fans in the country," noted Robertson, admiring the dedicated supporters present in Munich's city center. "We need their encouragement, and we hope they'll continue to support us for the duration of the championship. If we perform well, we might be able to stay in Germany a bit longer."

Clarke acknowledged the power of fan support as well. "It's great to know that so many people are behind us. We're counting on them to have a good time and behave themselves."
