Andy Robertson leaves Liverpool after nine years that began with him joining from Hull City for £8m in 2017. The Scotland international, who was playing in Scotland's fourth tier just four years before his move to Anfield, reflected on his connection with Sir Kenny Dalglish in a BBC interview. Robertson acknowledged the legacy of Scottish players at Liverpool, noting fans love Scottish players who typically bring success.

Robertson has redefined the full-back role during his Liverpool career, notching 60 Premier League assists - the second most by a defender behind Trent Alexander-Arnold. He has won nine major trophies including two league titles and the Champions League. Despite his on-field success, Robertson's legacy is perhaps best defined by his passionate, fan-like approach that Dalglish called "a great credit" to the club.

Liverpool finished fifth in the Premier League this season with Robertson admitting they "let ourselves down" with inconsistent performances. Robertson's focus now shifts to captaining Scotland at their first World Cup in 28 years, just 10 caps away from equalling Dalglish's record of 102 Scotland appearances. The defender will depart as the latest in a line of Scots who have left an indelible mark on Liverpool.
