Summary
Andy Robertson has defended Manchester City's players in the wake of the club being found guilty of breaching Premier League financial fair play rules. The Tottenham defender, speaking while with Scotland ahead of Saturday's Nations League match against Slovenia, argued that players should not bear the consequences of their club's governance failures, particularly if retrospective trophy removal is considered as punishment.
Robertson's stance contrasts with that of his former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp, who has said he would celebrate if City were stripped of silverware.
