Profiling Andrew Henry Robertson

EARLY LIFE and CAREER

Robertson was born in Glasgow, and was a lifelong Celtic fan. His father, Brian, was nicknamed “Pop” and grew up in Maryhill (specifically Wyndford Estate where he was a childhood friend with footballers Jim Duffy, and Charlie Nicholas). He was an avid amateur player but a spinal injury forced him to wear a brace that prevented him from becoming a professional athlete.

From 2006 to 2012, he attended St Ninian’s High School, Giffnock East Renfrewshire. He was the captain of the football team. He was also a player for Giffnock Soccer Centre, and joined Celtic as an under-15 because he was too small. He signed for Queen’s Park.

CLUB CAREER

Queen’s Park

Robertson focused his attention on his studies and was just about to start university at an undergraduate level when he was called up to Queen’s Park’s first team in the 2012-13 season. In a penalty shootout win against Berwick Rangers, he made his debut for the club. He went on to make forty appearances throughout the season to help the club finish third in the Scottish Third Division. On 13 November 2012, he scored his first goal in the club’s 2-1 loss to East Stirlingshire.

Dundee United

Robertson joined Dundee United’s Scottish Premiership side, along with Queen’s Park’s teammate Aidan Connolly on June 3, 2013. He took over the place of Barry Douglas , who had made the same move three year earlier. Queen’s Park, an amateur club, protested against the possibility of Douglas leaving for United without paying a transfer fee. They eventually reached a deal that included a portion of future transfers.

Robertson was immediately part of manager Jackie McNamara’s first team plans. He made his debut for the club in the 0-0 draw against Partick Thistle on the opening day. Robertson scored his debut goal for Dundee United on 22 September 2013 in a 2-2 draw with Motherwell. He ran into his own half and then sent a low left foot drive in to the goal, which he did from 22 yards. He signed a new contract with United shortly thereafter, which he continued to be under until May 2016. He was named SPFL young player and player of month for September 2013, as well as November 2013. Robertson was a participant in the Scottish Cup Semifinal against Rangers at Ibrox on 12 April 2014. United won 3-1. Robertson was named the PFA Scotland Team Of The Year for the 2013-14 Scottish Premiership.

Hull City

Dundee United received a PS2.85 million offer from Hull City, an English Premier League club, for Robertson in July 2014. Robertson signed a three year contract with Hull on 29 July. Stan Ternent from Hull City was Hull City’s chief Scout. He explained that he had been considering Stuart Armstrong but Robertson was the obvious choice. Robertson had a history of Celtic and was always determined, despite his setbacks. He was a natural talent and you could see it immediately.

On the first day of the season, he made his competitive debut in a 1-0 win away to Queens Park Rangers. He also made a goal-line clearance. Robertson settled quickly at Hull, and he was awarded the club’s Player-of-the Month award for August 2014. In his first season at the KC Stadium, he made 24 appearances but could not prevent the team being relegated.

Robertson decided to remain at City despite the release of many other first-teamers. He scored his first goal for City on the 3rd of November 2015 at Brentford. This resulted in Hull’s first Championship win on goal difference. He was a starter in the 2016 Championship playoff Final against Sheffield Wednesday. Hull won the match 1-0 to earn promotion to the Premier League. However, the team was relegated after only one season in the top flight.

However, he got a few games after the Spaniard was hurt in December. Liverpool fans were impressed by his performance in the 4-3 win against Manchester City, league leaders on January 14. On the last match day of 2017-18, he scored the club’s first goal against Brighton & Hove Albion. It was a 4-0 win.

Robertson was the first to be named in the squad of Scotland for a friendly against Poland, 5 March 2014. In the second half, he was substituted by Robertson as Scotland won 1-0 in Warsaw. Manager of Scotland Gordon Strachan stated that Andy came on the pitch and drove 30 yards for the first time. That was amazing. There is no gray area. I will do what I do. It was amazing to see that first touch. Robertson was the first to make a start for the national team, in a 2-2 draw against Nigeria on 28/05/2014.

Robertson scored Scotland’s first international goal against England in November 2014. They lost 3-1.

Manager Alex McLeish appointed Robertson as Scotland’s captain on 3 September 2018. Robertson stated that he and his left-back Kieran Terney were being forced to play out of the position in the 3-5-2 system, which Alex McLeish had adopted in order to accommodate both players.

Robertson scored the first goal in a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying match against Cyprus on June 8, 2019, with a long-range strike. Scotland won the match 2-1. He was one of five Scotland players who had to leave the national team due to injury in November.

Scotland won 5-4 on penalties against Serbia to qualify for UEFA Euro 2020 in November 2020. Robertson was again the captain. This was Scotland’s first appearance in a major tournament since 1998.

(He had previously been reunited with another Queen’s Park colleague, Lawrence Shankland in 2019).

STYLE OF PLAY

Phil Neville, an ex-defender for England, considers Robertson one of the top left-backs worldwide because of his speed, energy and cross ability. Fabio Aurelio was a Liverpool predecessor in the same position. He praised Robertson, saying that “One thing that draws my attention is that [he]’s always improving, not comfortable in his choice being first choice” and that “the two full-backs in Liverpool right now are incredible.” We are capable of competing in any way.
