Back in 2012, Andrew Robertson was an 18-year-old playing for Queen’s Park that had to do part-time work at Hamden Park just to make ends meet. Ever since then, his rise has been extraordinary. In six years he has gone from the Scottish Third Division to the UEFA Champions League Final and the captain of his country.

Robbo’s story started as he was considering joining university before joining Queen’s Park for the 2012-13 season. He impressed enough in his 40 appearances that he was snapped up by Scottish Premiership side Dundee United and made 36 league appearances in the 2013-14 season, scoring 3 times. He was also named in the Team of the Year for the Scottish Premiership.

His time in Scotland was over as the English Premier League side Hull City paid £2.85 million pounds for a 20-year-old Robertson before the start of the 2014-15 season. He settled in quickly to his new surroundings and won the player of the month in his first month (August 2014). He impressed in his first season despite not scoring any goals. He made 24 appearances, all in the Premier League.

In his second season at Hull, he was in the Championship. This is where he got his first goals in English football and was a crucial part of their promotion push back to the Premier League. In the 2015-16 season, Robertson made 52 appearances in all competitions, scoring 4 times.

In his final season with Hull, back in the Premier League, Robertson continued to impress despite his team’s struggles for points. He looked almost a different player to the one seen 2 years earlier in the same division and was one of Hull’s stand out stars of the season despite relegation. He made 39 appearances and managed 1 goal.

For the 2017-18 season, Robertson got his move to Liverpool for an initial 8 million pounds. At first, he struggled to get into Jurgen Klopp’s side ahead of Alberto Moreno but an injury to the Spaniard in December gave Robertson his chance and he took it with both arms. For the rest of the season, he was one of the most important members of the team on route to the Champions League final. He managed several assists and was always a threat from crossing situations. His stand out performance was in the 4-3 win over Manchester City were during the match, he chased the ball in a press that lasted for around 40 yards and almost resulted in a goal for the Scot. He did manage to get his maiden goal for Liverpool in the final day of the season against Brighton. He has started the 2017-18 season in similar fashion, always looking dangerous and his crossing ability is second to none at times.

For his great efforts for club and country, Robertson was rewarded with the Scotland captaincy on September 3rd. At only 24, there is a lot more to come from Robbo and it will be great to see for both club and country.
