Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
In the line-ups
4 appearances in recorded line-ups · 1978–1982The archive holds 4 team sheets naming John Robertson in Scotland's starting line-up, from 1978-06-07 to 1982-06-22.
4 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
