Scotland captain Andrew Robertson believes only a ‘minority’ of Scottish fans voiced their displeasure as the national side were booed off after a 1-0 defeat to Ivory Coast at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, Liverpool.

Steve Clarke’s team were also subject to booing after a home 1-0 defeat to Japan in their last game, with the Scotland manager labelling the noise as ‘disappointing’.

And his skipper Robertson, who became Scotland’s second most capped player ever last night, agrees that the crowd reaction isn’t justified.

He said: “I think it’s now just set, if we don’t get the result then we just get booed.

“What I will say is 95% of the fans drowned it out very quickly, so it’s a small minority. It was a small minority at Hampden on Saturday and it was a small minority today.

“Everyone behind that goal that were clapping were fans that were appreciative of what they’ve seen, appreciative of the team that have took them to a World Cup, and the reception at the end was unbelievable. So it’s only a few people.

“For me, that’s not a booing performance. Okay, we got beat, and I hate getting beat, but it was a lot of positives to take. It wasn’t from a want or trying, we played some really good stuff, especially in the second half.”

And the 32-year-old was quick to point out the level of opposition that Scotland had tested themselves out against in these two friendlies.

“I think Japan have just beat England 1-0 today as well. Let’s be real, we go beat off Japan 1-0 and it was a 0-0 game, we just probably made a mistake and they’ve went and beat England.

“Ivory Coast won 4-0 on Saturday and I think for large parts, we were the better team.”

Scotlands next confirmed fixture is at home to Curacao on May 30th, as they have one final send off before their first World Cup in 28 years.
