Andy Robertson has matured into a fantastic player for Liverpool, growing all the time and becoming one of the first names on Jurgen Klopp’s team-sheet.
The 25-year-old is widely regarded as the best left-back in the world at the moment and he put in another strong showing against Tottenham on Sunday.
It hasn’t always been plain sailing for Robertson in his career, however, and he famously never made the grade at boyhood team Celtic.
Former Hoops forward Cillian Sheridan has revealed a brilliantly story about Robertson on Twitter, explaining how the Liverpool star displayed his work ethic after being told he wasn’t good enough:
I remember in the youth team at Celtic and Andy Robertson was called up to train with us. He couldn’t make one single pass. The coach slaughtered him, told him he’d never make it. When training ended, he refused to leave the pitch until he perfected the passing drill. Relentless

It is a fascinating story – one that shows just how committed Robertson was from a young age.
He certainly wasn’t always destined for the top, finding himself relegated with Hull City in 2017, but it was always clear that he had an edge to his game.
Jurgen Klopp clearly noticed, bringing him to Anfield shortly after Hull went down, and he hasn’t looked back since.
Many Reds supporters wouldn’t swap him for anyone and rightly so.
