Andrew Robertson grew up in Glasgow and was released by Celtic’s academy as a teenager. He rebuilt his career at amateur side Queen’s Park, then Dundee United and Hull City.
Liverpool signed him in 2017 for around £8 million, and he became one of the best left-backs in the world. His relentless running and crossing were central to Liverpool’s 2019 Champions League win and their 2019/20 and 2024/25 Premier League titles.
Robertson captains Scotland and led them at Euro 2020 and Euro 2024. He joined Tottenham Hotspur on a free transfer in 2026.
Playing style
Robertson is a tireless, attacking left-back who covers huge distances and delivers excellent crosses. His energy and pressing set the tone for Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool, and his partnership with Trent Alexander-Arnold produced record numbers of assists from full-backs. He is also a vocal leader, known for his competitive spirit and humour. His rise from being released by Celtic to winning the Champions League is one of the great stories of modern British football.
International career
Robertson has won more than 80 caps for Scotland and has been captain since 2018. He led Scotland to Euro 2020, their first major tournament since 1998, and Euro 2024.
