Roy Keane had some strong words for Scotland captain Andy Robertson following their disappointing 5-1 defeat to Germany in the Euro 2024 Group A opener. Keane, a Manchester United and Republic of Ireland legend, didn’t hold back in his criticism of Robertson’s post-match remarks.

Keane expressed his frustration with Robertson’s comments about the team’s gameplan, emphasizing the importance of aggression in football, especially when facing tough opponents like Germany. He pointed out that simply having a plan is not enough; players need to show physicality and determination on the field.

In a blunt assessment for ITV, Keane highlighted the lack of aggression from the Scottish side and criticized their failure to rise to the occasion. He dismissed Robertson’s talk of regrouping and creating history, instead urging the team to take responsibility for their subpar performance.

Keane’s message was clear: in top-level football, skill alone is not sufficient—players must be willing to put in the physical effort and show determination to compete effectively. Keane’s tough love approach underscored the need for Scotland to step up their game in the upcoming matches against Switzerland and Hungary to have a shot at advancing in the tournament.
