The Scots were thumped 5-1 by hosts Germany in the tournament opener last week and Robertson has demanded more courage from the team as they look to get off the mark in Group A in Wednesday's (19.06.24) fixture.

Robertson told reporters: "You've seen a team [in qualification] that was full of belief and ready to fight for each other and ready to go for every single ball and maybe on Friday we played a wee bit with fear, which we didn't want,

"We need to be at our best again to try and get anything off Switzerland. And if we do that, we do believe that we can try and get a result, but they'll also be full of belief, full of confidence and rightly so after what they did on Saturday (beating Hungary).

"But we have to show what we are about. We have to show what Scotland's about and if we do that then we believe that hopefully we can cause them problems and we can get a bit further up the pitch and causing problems in the box and things like that.

"But it's not going to be easy. They're a really good team and that's why we go into it. We're confident that we can get a result, but we're also full of praise of Switzerland. But like I said, maybe a wee bit of fear came in on Friday and we will be trying to make sure that that doesn't happen tomorrow."

Scotland were supported in large numbers against the hosts and Robertson says the team owe the fans a performance after the humbling experience in their opener.

The captain said: "There was maybe a bit of hype around us in our own country and people excited and we love that and we hope they're excited again tomorrow, but we have to try and give them something to shout about because the support we had on Friday was right up there and we let them down."
