Liverpool[edit]

Robertson playing for Liverpool in the 2018 UEFA Champions League Final

On 21 July 2017, Robertson signed a long-term deal with Liverpool for an initial fee of £8 million.[34]
[35]
 On 19 August, he made his debut in a 1–0 win over Crystal Palace,[36] winning the Man of the
Match award.[8] Robertson started the 2017–18 season as understudy to Alberto Moreno, but got a
run of games when the Spaniard was injured in December. His performance in the 4–3 victory
against league leaders Manchester City on 14 January earned praise from the Liverpool supporters.
[37]
 He scored his first goal for the club on the final match day of the 2017–18 season against Brighton
& Hove Albion in a 4–0 victory.[38]
Robertson continued to play regularly for Liverpool during the 2018–19 season when Liverpool were
runners-up in the Premier League.[39] He signed a new contract with the club in January 2019, which
is due to run until 2024.[39] He has been hailed as the best left back in the Premier League by Kevin
Kilbane[4] and the best left back in the world by Phil Neville.[40] Over the course of the 2018-19 Premier
League season, Robertson registered 11 assists.[41][42] 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.[43]
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.[44] He became the first Scot to win the
tournament since Darren Fletcher (an unused substitute in 2008)[45] and the first to actually be on the
field in a winning team since Paul Lambert in 1997.[44]
In the European champions' first home game of the Champions League for the 2019–20 campaign
on 2 October, Robertson scored his first European goal in a dramatic 4–3 victory against Red Bull
Salzburg.[46] On 2 November 2019, Robertson scored his second Premier League goal for Liverpool,
equalising in the 87th minute against Aston Villa, with Liverpool eventually winning 2–1 in stoppage
time.[47]
Over the course of the 2019–20 domestic campaign, Robertson contributed 3 goals and 12 assists
for Liverpool.[48]
On 24 August 2021, Robertson signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool. [49]

International career[edit]
Robertson playing for Scotland in 2019

Robertson was first selected by the Scotland under-21 team in October 2013.[50] He made his debut
as a substitute in a 2–1 win against Slovakia.[51] Robertson was selected for the under-21 team in
November 2015, as the full national team did not have a fixture. [52]
Robertson was first named in the full Scotland squad for a friendly against Poland on 5 March 2014.
He came on as a substitute in the second half, as Scotland won 1–0 in Warsaw. [53] Scotland
manager Gordon Strachan said afterwards "Andy came on there and the first time he picked it up he
drove about 30 yards. I thought 'that's fantastic'. Absolutely no grey area, I'm going to do what I do. I
loved seeing that first touch."[53] Robertson made his first start for the national team in a 2–2 draw
with Nigeria on 28 May 2014.[54]
Robertson scored his first international goal in a friendly against England at Celtic Park in November
2014, scoring Scotland's only goal as they were beaten 3–1. [55]
On 3 September 2018, Robertson was appointed as Scotland captain by manager Alex McLeish.
[56]
 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.[57]
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. Scotland eventually won 2–1. [58] In November, he was one of
five Scotland players to withdraw from the national squad due to injury. [59]
In November 2020, with Robertson again as captain, Scotland qualified for UEFA Euro
2020 following a 5–4 win on penalties against Serbia. It was Scotland's first major tournament
appearance since 1998, ending a 22-year streak of not qualifying. [60] On 14 June 2021, Robertson
captained Scotland in their first game of Euro 2020, but ended up on the losing side as the Scots lost
2–0 to the Czech Republic.[61] Scotland were knocked out at the group stage, having lost to the
Czechs and Croatia either side of a goalless draw with England.
In September of that year, Robertson won his 50th cap and thereby joined the Scottish FA
International Roll of Honour.[62] In his next appearance he led the team to a 1–0 away win
over Austria;[63] among his teammates was debutant substitute Paul McGinn who last played
alongside Robertson almost nine years earlier, when they were with Queen's Park in the fourth tier
of Scottish football[64] (he had been reunited at international level with another Queen's Park
colleague, Lawrence Shankland, in 2019).[65]

Style of play[edit]
Robertson is considered by former England defender Phil Neville to be one of the best left-backs in
the world, due to his pace, energy, and crossing ability.[40] Fábio Aurélio, a predecessor for Liverpool
in the same position, singled out Robertson for praise, saying "One thing that calls my attention is
that he's always improving, he's not comfortable in his situation being first choice," and that "The two
full-backs of Liverpool right now are unbelievable. We can contest in any kind of way." [66]
Former Liverpool captain Sir Kenny Dalglish has said "For me, there are few, if any, better than him
in his position."[67]

Personal life[edit]
Robertson is a practicing Roman Catholic.[68] He is engaged to Rachel Roberts,[69][70] who gave birth to
their son, Rocco, on 26 August 2017.[71] In January 2019, the couple welcomed their second child
and first daughter, Aria.[72] Robertson is of Irish descent through his Glenfarne-born grandmother.[73]
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.[74] The Sunday Times reported in
March 2020 that Robertson had donated significant sums to food banks in the Glasgow area. [75]
In September 2020, Robertson released his first book, Robbo: Now You're Gonna Believe Us, which
mainly focuses on Liverpool's 2019–20 campaign. All proceeds from the book go to Robertson's
foundation, which helps underprivileged children in Scotland. [76]
In November 2020, he and fellow Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold began starring in their
own digital series on IGTV called 'Wingmen'.[77]
