SCOTLAND legend Kenny Dalglish has hailed Andrew Robertson’s wonder strike against Lithuania as one of the national team’s greatest goals.

King Kenny – Scotland’s most-capped player – joked the young Liverpool full-back must have been “watching old video of my goals to get some tips”, following his startling effort on Friday evening.

The strike was part of a memorable 3-0 victory that breathed new life into the Scots’ World Cup qualifying campaign.

Social media has been awash with people lauding Robertson’s 30-yard scorcher, with many fans claiming the strike was one of the very best in a dark blue shirt.

TV presenter Lorraine Kelly described it as “a beautiful thing”.

Celtic and Scotland star Leigh Griffiths last night raved about the goal, revealing: “I was screaming at him to give me the ball but he if he keeps doing that he can keep it!”

Writing in his exclusive Sunday Post column, Dalglish, 66, said: “Robertson played his part superbly well in Vilnius.

“With hardly any backlift, he placed a beautiful, left-foot curling shot into the keeper’s top right-hand corner of the net.

“I think maybe Andrew has been watching an old video of my goals to get some tips!

“But, seriously, what a finish it was. No wonder everyone stood up to applaud.”

Watch all the goals from Lithuania 0 – 3 Scotland. It was a great night for Scotland in Vilnius. Three points, a first Scotland goal for Stuart Armstrong and a worldy from Andrew Robertson.

Liverpool legend Dalglish also revealed he had taken time out to help Robertson, who joined the Premier League giants in July after a fairytale rise from amateur football, settle on Merseyside.

He continued: “I had the pleasure of meeting him after his debut game and he is a nice lad. I can’t influence Jurgen Klopp’s team selection, but I can make Andrew feel at home.”

A Scottish Football Association poll of 2400 fans saw Robertson’s effort – which put Gordon Strachan’s side 2-0 up – rated by 70% of respondents as the best goal of the game.

And the strike has reignited a national debate about the best ever goal scored in a Scotland jersey. Top of the pile for most remains Archie Gemmill’s 1978 strike against Holland.

Memorable finishes by Dalglish, Scotland’s joint-top scorer with Denis Law, also feature heavily in fans’ lists of top goals.

Legendary football commentator Archie Macpherson last night hailed the former Queen’s Park star’s strike. He said: “Robertson’s goal was cool, he did what he needed to do and it was well executed.

“The confidence was there to see but that is what will come when you have a guy who is playing top class football.”

But Macpherson, 79, thinks it is “over the top” to describe Robertson’s goal – the culmination of a superb team effort – as Scotland’s greatest of all time. He believes it is “almost impossible” to pick the best, given the choice.

Macpherson also revealed he was writing a book chronicling Scotland’s World Cup campaigns between 1974 and 1998, joking he “would love to add another chapter” about next year’s tournament in Russia if the national team can qualify.
