Career by season
Source: transfermarkt · fetched 2026-05-29
Robertson’s tournament cannot be separated from the qualifying campaign that delivered it. Scotland’s group rested on the November 2025 home draw with Denmark — settled by McTominay’s overhead kick — and on the away win in Athens that followed. Robertson played every minute of both. He arrives in North America with 92 caps and a chance to overtake Kenny Dalglish on the all-time list during the tournament itself.
Steve Clarke’s 3-4-2-1 has been built around Robertson’s ability to play either left wing-back or as a left-sided centre-half — the latter when Tierney is available to occupy the wing-back role. Whichever shape Clarke chooses against Brazil, Robertson’s delivery into the box is Scotland’s single likeliest source of goals.
Strengths
- Crossing accuracy from deep and overlapping positions
