In a week that carries the unmistakable feel of a chapter closing at Liverpool FC, Andy Robertson has confirmed he will depart when his contract expires this summer. The Scotland captain’s words, delivered in the wake of the club’s announcement, have only strengthened the growing belief that his next move is already decided — a return to Celtic FC.
It is a narrative rich with symmetry. Released by Celtic as a slight 15-year-old deemed “too small”, Robertson now stands on the brink of returning as one of Europe’s most accomplished full-backs. From humble beginnings at Queen’s Park and Dundee United to the summit of the continental game, his journey has been anything but ordinary.
Liverpool confirmed on 9 April 2026 that Robertson will leave as a free agent, bringing an end to nine glittering years at Anfield. Signed from Hull City in 2017 for £8 million, he developed into a cornerstone of a side that redefined the modern full-back. His tireless running, delivery from wide areas, and understanding with teammates such as Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold became hallmarks of an era.
He departs with nearly 400 appearances, 69 assists, and a medal haul that includes the Champions League and Premier League. Under Jürgen Klopp, he helped build a team that will be remembered for years to come.
“I’ll let other people say if I’m a Liverpool legend or not — I think you know me well enough that I will never accept that.”
Attention now turns north. A move to Celtic appears increasingly likely, with the club eager for leadership and experience. For Robertson, it offers something deeper — a return home, and perhaps the perfect final act to a remarkable career.
