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.

His performance during his first season as a professional led to him being named PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year and also making his international debut.

[6] His father Brian, nicknamed 'Pop', who grew up in the Maryhill area (specifically the Wyndford estate where he was a childhood friend of footballers Jim Duffy and Charlie Nicholas),[6] was a keen amateur player, although a spinal injury requiring him to wear a back brace prevented him from pursuing sport as a career.

[6] Focusing on his studies, Robertson was on the brink of starting university at undergraduate degree level before he was called up to the Queen's Park first team at the beginning of the 2012–13 season.

[11] Robertson signed for Scottish Premiership side Dundee United, along with Queen's Park teammate Aidan Connolly, on 3 June 2013;[12] he took the squad place of the departing Barry Douglas who had made the same move three years earlier.

[14] Robertson immediately became part of manager Jackie McNamara's first team plans, making his debut for the club on the opening day of the season in a 0–0 draw with Partick Thistle.

[23] In July 2014, Dundee United accepted an offer of £2.85 million for Robertson from English Premier League club Hull City.

[25] As Stan Ternent, Hull City's chief scout explained, "I'd been looking at Stuart Armstrong but [Robertson] was the no brainer … he'd a history with Celtic and he was always a determined lad given how he'd recovered from his setbacks.

[27] Robertson quickly settled at Hull and established himself in the side, winning the club's Player of the Month award for August 2014.

[30] He started the 2016 Championship play-off final against Sheffield Wednesday, which Hull won 1–0 to secure promotion to the Premier League.

[39][40] On 25 April, he was named in the PFA Team of the Year alongside Liverpool teammates, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Sadio Mané and Virgil van Dijk.

[41] On 1 June 2019, Robertson played the full 90 minutes of the Champions League final as Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur to secure their sixth European Cup.

[47] Robertson earned a runners-up medal in the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League,[48] losing the final to Real Madrid, and was selected as part of the Team of the Season.

[61] After a 2–1 defeat against Israel in October 2018, Robertson said that both he and fellow left-back Kieran Tierney were being played out of position in the 3–5–2 system adopted by McLeish to accommodate both players.

[62] In a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifier against Cyprus on 8 June 2019, Robertson scored the opening goal of the game with a long-range strike.

[65] On 14 June 2021, Robertson captained Scotland in their first game of Euro 2020, but ended up on the losing side as the Scots were defeated 2–0 by the Czech Republic.

[citation needed] In September of that year, Robertson won his 50th cap and thereby joined the Scottish FA International Roll of Honour.

[70] In a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying game against Norway in Oslo, two late goals from Lyndon Dykes and Kenny McLean overturned a one-goal deficit and caused Scotland to go top of their group on a maximum nine points.

[71] Robertson was named man of the match, being described by Thomas Duncan of BBC Sport as being "[c]omposed at the back and brilliant at driving the team forward up the left".

[90] In March 2018, Robertson donated a signed Liverpool shirt of his teammate Roberto Firmino to a young boy who had given his pocket money to a local food bank.

[91] The Sunday Times reported in March 2020 that Robertson had donated significant sums to food banks in the Glasgow area.

[94] Robertson was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2023 New Year Honours for services to association football, charity and young people.
