About Andrew Robertson in brief
Andrew Henry Robertson is a Scottish professional footballer. He plays as a left back for Premier League club Liverpool and the Scotland national team. Robertson began his senior career with Queen’s Park in 2012 before joining Dundee United a year later. He joined Hull City in July 2014 for a fee of £2. 85 million, before joining Liverpool in July 2017 for an undisclosed fee, believed to be an initial £8 million. He appeared in successive UEFA Champions League finals in his first two seasons, losing the first in 2018. For his performances in the 2018–19 Premier League season, he was named in the PFA Team of the Year. He was appointed Scotland captain in September 2018. Robertson was born in Glasgow and was a childhood Celtic fan. His father Brian, nicknamed ‘Pop’, was a keen amateur player, although a spinal injury requiring him to wear a back brace prevented him from pursuing sport as a career. He attended St Ninian’s High School in Giffnock, East Renfrewshire, from 2006 to 2012, where he captained the football team. As a youth, Robertson joined Celtic as a youth but was released at under-15 level because he was considered to be too small.
In April 2014, Robertson was named PFA Scotland Young Player of the year. He made his full international debut for Scotland in May 2014, and he was appointed captain of the national team in September 2014. He has also played in the Scottish Cup, Scottish League Cup and the Scottish League One Cup. He is also a member of the Scotland Under-21 squad. Robertson made his debut for the Scottish Challenge Cup in a penalty shoot out win against Berwick Rangers, and went on to make a total of forty appearances during the season, helping the club to a third-place finish in the 2012–13 Scottish Third Division. His first goal for the club came in a 2–1 defeat to East Stirlingshire on 13 November 2012. In June 2013, Robertson signed a three-year contract with Hull City. In July 2014, Dundee United accepted an offer of £2.85 million for Robertson from Hull City, and the transfer was completed on 29 July. In August 2014, he established himself at Hull, winning the club’s Player of the Month award for August 2014.
