Andy Robertson has been chosen as Scotland’s person by the decade by former Rangers star Billy Dodds.
The 25-year-old has been a revelation for Liverpool since joining from Hull City in 2017, when he arrived to a relatively lukewarm reception.
Robertson has since matured into arguably the best left-back in the world, proving to be a hugely influential figure for the European champions.
Not only that, he is also now captain of Scotland, in what is a proud accomplishment for him.
Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland‘s Sportsound, Dodds picked out Robertson as his country’s standout player of the 2010s, ahead of Celtic legend Scott Brown:
The story and the rise of Andy Robertson has been nothing short of incredible.
That guy has gone from Queen’s Park to Dundee United and gone down to England – to Hull City then Liverpool. From part-time football with Queen’s Park to going to a Champions League final and winning it.
We don’t often get fairytales in Scottish football. It’s his journey from where he’s come to where he’s gone. I don’t think you’ll see that again in Scottish football.

Robertson and Brown have been Scotland’s two best players of the 2010s, and there isn’t much between them.
While Brown has longevity in his favour, Robertson has reached a world-class level that his countryman has never managed to.
Dodds is correct in his assessment of the Liverpool star, as his career goes from strength to strength.
