Scotland have named Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson their new captain ahead of the international break.
The former Hull City defender has helped the Reds to a 100% winning record in the Premier League and now, he will lead the national side against Belgium and then Albania.
The 24-year-old was presented as the captain via an impressive video that captured some of the great captains over the years.

Robertson has been a key figure under Jurgen Klopp and has become one of the best left-backs in the league. The 24-year-old might not be the most experienced defender in the world but there is no doubting his ability.
The youngster has been a model of consistency for the Reds and a number of Liverpool and Scotland fans shared their love for our flying left-back on Twitter.
No brainier. Our best player. World class too.
