Andy Robertson

Andrew Henry Robertson MBE (born 11 March 1994) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Premier League club Liverpool and captains the Scotland national team. He is also the vice-captain of Liverpool.

Robertson began his senior career in 2012 with one season at then amateur Queen's Park. In his season at Dundee United, he was runner up in the 2013–14 Scottish Cup. He was named PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year and in the PFA Scotland Team of the Year, before joining Premier League side Hull City in July 2014 for a fee of £2.85 million. Robertson was relegated, promoted and then relegated again in his three seasons at Hull City.

Robertson joined Liverpool in July 2017 for an undisclosed fee, believed to be an initial £8 million. His honours with Liverpool include the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League, the 2019–20 Premier League, the 2019 UEFA Super Cup, the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup and a 2021–22 season EFL Cup and FA Cup domestic double. The 2022 FA Community Shield win meant he had won once each at that stage, the complete set of all seven first tier trophies available to Liverpool. He has since won with Liverpool a second time both the EFL Cup in 2024 and the Premier League title in 2025.

Robertson was named in the PFA Team of the Year in 2018–19 and 2019–20. His first UEFA individual award was inclusion in their 2018 Champions League breakthrough team. UEFA also named him in both their Champions League Squad of the Season and their fans' Team of the Year in 2019. He was again named in their Champions League Team of the Season for the 2021–22 season.

Robertson made his full Scotland debut in May 2014. He was appointed Scotland captain in September 2018, leading his country at UEFA Euro 2020 and Euro 2024. With 90 caps, Robertson is currently the third-highest capped player to play for the Scotland men's national team, and since June 2024, he also holds the record for the most caps as Scotland men's national team captain.

Robertson was born in Glasgow to parents Brian and Pauline. He has an elder brother named Stephen. He is of Irish descent via his Glenfarne-born grandmother.

Brian grew up on Maryhill's Wyndford estate. A tenacious amateur player nicknamed "Pop" after Pop Robson, Brian was a childhood friend of footballers Jim Duffy and Charlie Nicholas. However a spinal injury required Brian to wear a back brace, preventing a sporting career. Robertson later said of Stephen as an amateur footballer, "He didn’t move much, he was a bit of a static striker but scored a lot of goals."

Robertson attended St Ninian's High School in Giffnock, East Renfrewshire, from 2006 to 2012. There he captained the football team. He was also the junior captain of his local golf club in Glasgow.
