SCOTLAND captain Andy Robertson says he doesn’t want Lionel Messi “anywhere near the Premier League”.
The Barcelona star looks like he could be on his way out of the Camp Nou this summer and has been heavily linked with Manchester City.

Robertson, who played twice against Messi during the 2018/19 Champions League season, is keen to avoid facing the Argentinian again.
According to Clyde 1 Superscoreboard reporter Andrew Maclean, Robertson said: “I think Liverpool have ruled out that we could sign him so I don’t want him anywhere near the Premier League and hopefully it stays that way.
“I’ve played against him twice and it’s the hardest games I’ve ever played.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
