(Reuters) -Andy Robertson was "in bits" before Scotland beat Denmark 4-2 to qualify for the World Cup, saying he could not help thinking about former Liverpool teammate Diogo Jota and their shared dream of playing in football's biggest tournament.

Goals from Scott McTominay, Lawrence Shankland, Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean on Tuesday secured Scotland's spot in next year's World Cup in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, which will be their first appearance in the tournament since 1998.
