ANDY ROBERTSON clashed with Liverpool teammate Kostas Tsimikas when the pair faced off in a Nations League tie between Greece and Scotland on Thursday night.
The Reds left-backs showed that they have no club loyalties when they don their national shirts as they locked horns in a feisty exchange on the pitch in Greece.

Tempers seemed to flare in the second half when VAR overturned a Greece penalty that would have levelled the scores in the 86th minute of the Nations League play-off tie.
During the lengthy wait for VAR to make their decision, Robertson was seen discussing the incident with referee Tobias Stieler – something that Tsimikas appeared to take issue with.
Seemingly saying something to Robertson off camera, the Scot appeared to snap back in what fans think was an X-rated rant.
Robertson, who was wearing the captain’s armband for Scotland, shot a death stare at his counterpart before launching the fierce words.
Fans online reckon he was referring to his role as captain during the rant.
With one writing: “No love lost between Robertson and fellow Liverpool left-back Tsimikas. ‘Because I’m the f*****g captain, Kostas, outside.’”
And another adding: “I canny be sure exactly what Robertson is shouting at Tsimikas, but it includes “…because am the f*****g captain’”.
It was Robertson’s Scotland that wound up victorious in the first leg, taking a 1-0 advantage into the second leg at Hampden Park on Sunday afternoon.

It appears there will be no grudges between Robertson and Tsimikas back in Liverpool after the international break either, as the pair shared a hug at full-time.
Despite both being on the books at Liverpool together for almost five years, the pair have actually only shared the pitch as teammates five times.
Sharing the same position means they often spend more time jostling for a place in the lineup than they do playing alongside one and other.
And their time at Anfield together could be coming to an end too, with Liverpool reportedly keen to sign a new left-back in the summer.
Even Robertson has opened up on a potential replacement at the end of the season.
He said recently: “I think we’ve been linked with pretty much every left-back in the world.
“That comes with playing for one of the greatest clubs in the world. I look back on these eight years I’ve had as the starting left-back at that club and I feel a lot of pride.
“Your time comes and I don’t think it’s my time yet but even if we do bring someone in, then so be it. I’ll always back myself.
“Sure, this season there have been a couple of moments when I haven’t covered myself in glory but some things have been taken way out of proportion.
“I think the performance levels have been there for me. I think I’ve had a relatively good season but one thing people will say about me is that’s I’ve been pretty consistent, so when you make a couple of mistakes, then people can talk.
“That’s the world we live in, that’s the Premier League. Everyone has eyes on you, everyone has an opinion.
“It is what it is but I’m always confident in my ability. I’ve shown that right throughout my career but especially during my time at Liverpool.”
