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. He is also one of the members of the leadership group and captains Liverpool occasionally.[2] Regarded as one of the best left-backs in the world, Robertson is known for his vision, athleticism and physical power.[3][4][5][6]

Robertson began his senior career with Queen's Park in 2012 before joining Dundee United a year later. 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. He joined Hull City in July 2014 for a fee of £2.85 million. Robertson played for Hull in three seasons, being relegated, promoted and relegated in consecutive years. He joined Liverpool in July 2017 for an undisclosed fee, believed to be an initial £8 million. Robertson has won several honours during his time with Liverpool, including the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League in 2020. For his performances in the 2018–19 Premier League season, he was named in the PFA Team of the Year. In the same year, he won the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup. He also won a domestic double, winning the EFL Cup and the FA Cup, in the 2021–22 season. The same season, Robertson once again finished in second place in the Premier League and in the Champions League, losing the final again to Real Madrid.

Robertson made his full international debut for Scotland in May 2014, and was appointed Scotland captain in September 2018. He represented the side at UEFA Euro 2020 and Euro 2024. As of June 2024 Robertson is the most capped male captain of the Scottish national team.
