Career

Celtic

Raised in Lenzie and a product of the club's youth system,[2][3] Robertson made his senior debut aged 18 in a 2019–20 UEFA Europa League group stage fixture against CFR Cluj on 12 December 2019; with Celtic's final position at the head of the table already confirmed, a below-strength team lost 2–0.[4] He had already featured for Celtic's under-21 team in the 2018–19 and 2019–20 editions of the Scottish Challenge Cup, scoring in a defeat to Falkirk,[2][5] and in July 2019, a few days before he turned 18, signed a contract running until summer 2021.[6]

Loan spells

In September 2020, he joined Gillingham on a season-long loan.[7] He made his debut for the club coming on as a substitute in a 2-0 defeat to Hull City. After making 15 league appearances for the Gills, Robertson was recalled by Celtic on 11 January 2021.[8]

On 30 January 2021, Robertson joined League One side Doncaster Rovers on loan for the remainder of the 2020–21 season.[9]

On 30 August 2021, Robertson returned to England to join Crewe Alexandra on loan for the 2021–22 season.[10] He made his Crewe debut the following day, 31 August, in a 1–0 victory at Shrewsbury Town in an EFL Trophy group tie.[11] Just over a month later, on 2 October 2021, he scored his first Crewe goal in a 2–2 draw with Cambridge United at Gresty Road.[12] Injured in Crewe's league game at Accrington Stanley on 12 February 2022, Robertson had an operation and returned to Celtic to continue his rehabilitation in March 2022.[13]

Fleetwood Town

On 20 January 2023, Robertson made a permanent transfer to League One club Fleetwood Town, signing a two-and-a-half year contract.[14]
