The former Queen's Park and Dundee United defender is in Vilnius for the Scots' crunch World Cup qualifier against Lithuania on Friday night where victory is required to keep hopes of making the finals next summer alive.

While admitting he was in a good place personally at the moment, Robertson is looking for even more good times with the national team.

He said: 'There comes a time in life when things have to change, think about having kids and me and my partner did that and obviously with that came a move to a massive club.

'I am on top of the world just now. I am relishing it and loving where I am at with the club and where I am with my family.

'Everyone wants to get the country back to big finals and that will be our my aim.

'We have four games left and the players, managers and staff will be working towards that and if we can do that it will give the country a big lift.

'We are looking to get maximum points and if we do that we will see where we stand.

'If it is not enough we will look at it then but we are trying to qualify.'
