Robertson admits Scots must improve at Euros after Netherlands collapse

Andy Robertson wants Scotland to improve before the European Championships in the summer after losing 4-0 to the Netherlands in a friendly.

Steve Clarke's side were competitive throughout but a late collapse led to a damaging scoreline.

Scotland captain Robertson admitted that his side can't go into the Euros with a similar performance level.

He told Viaplay: "You can't come away to these big teams and play the way we did.

"We have to take heart from the 60, 70 minutes but the last 20 minutes is not how we want to play.

"When you go to major tournaments then you have to be a lot better than that.

"If you do get beat, you have to keep your goal difference down.

"We do not want to be the team that just qualifies for tournaments, we want to be competing.

"We have to get back to winning ways and it needs to start quickly.

"Today we tried to treat it like a rehearsal for the Euros and for large parts we did well but the game is over 90 minutes.

"We have got the energy, it is not as if we tired, we kept the ball really well and we just switched off. In a game we played well we could have walked off at 6-0."

Netherlands were clinical in the final third as Gini Wijnaldum, Wout Weghorst and Donyell Malen's second-half goals added on to Tijiani Reijnders' early long-range strike.

Despite the convincing nature of the scoreline, Ronald Koeman admitted that his side were second best to the Tartan Army until the latter stages of the game.

He added: "During the first hour the Scottish team were the better team, they created more chances to score, it was a little bit unbelievable that they didn't score because they had so many chances.

"I think we need to play better football. we had many mistakes and we have to do that better in Germany."
