Andy Robertson sends Christian Eriksen well wishes as Scotland captain praises Denmark's 'heroes'

Andy Robertson was almost brought to tears by the heroic Denmark players who shielded Christian Eriksen from the TV cameras.

The Danish squad linked arms to form a protective wall around their teammate tragically collapsed to the turf against Finland.

Scotland captain Robertson admits he was deeply affected by the scenes and the 27-year-old passed his best wishes onto Eriksen and everybody involved.

"I'd like to send my well-wishes to Christian Eriksen, his family, all the Danish players, the Danes as a country," the Liverpool player said.

"What we witnessed was scary for the football community. Luckily the news today is a wee bit more positive.

"The way the Danish players dealt with what must have been a heart-breaking thing for all of them, they stood up to it.

“That will be the picture I remember and everyone should remember because, when one of their friends was in a bad place, they stood up and protected him.

"Whatever else happens in this tournament, for me they will be the heroes.

"Their captain (Simon Kjaer), it nearly brought a tear to my eye the way he stood up."
