Background and career
Andrew Henry Robertson (born 11 March 1994) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and captains the Scotland national team.
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 total of £8 million. His honours with Liverpool include winning 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, at that stage, he had won one each of the complete set of all seven first tier trophies available to Liverpool. He has since won a second EFL Cup (2024) and Premier League title (2025) with Liverpool.
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 Team 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 international debut for the Scotland senior team in May 2014. He was appointed captain in September 2018, and has led his country at UEFA Euro 2020, Euro 2024 and the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With 100 caps, Robertson is the second-highest capped player to play for Scotland, and is the highest-capped player to serve as Scotland captain. On his 90th cap in November 2025, Robertson led his country to a first World Cup qualification since 1998 following a 4–2 victory against Denmark.
