Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson was in international action on Thursday night as his Scotland side picked up a point in World Cup qualifying.

Scotland hosted Austria at Hampden Park and twice came from behind to register a 2-2 draw.

Sasa Kalajdzic broke the deadlock in the 55th minute by netting on the rebound after David Marshall had palmed Florian Grillitsch’s effort into his path.

Scotland levelled through 71 minutes as Grant Hanley headed home from Stephen O’Donnell’s free kick for his first international goal in eight years.

Kalajdzic then put Austria ahead again as the 6ft 7in striker outjumped Jack Hendry to nod Stefan Lainer’s cross into the top corner.

Aston Villa’s John McGinn was the hero on the night thanks to a wonderful overhead kick after Ryan Christie returned a corner into the Austria box.

Meanwhile, Robertson linked up well with Kieran Tierney and showed great energy up and down the left.

Although Stefan Lainer curbed Robertson’s attacking efforts in the first half, the Reds ace got the better of his opponent and had a much more productive second half.

Here is what some fans were saying about the £50,000-a-week man’s performance on the night:
