Andy Robertson could be set for a remarkable return to Celtic as early as January, with insiders revealing that the Scotland captain is open to a pre-contract deal that would mark an emotional homecoming to his childhood club for the latter stage of his career.
The 31-year-old defender, whose current contract with Liverpool runs until June 2026, has been a vital figure in the team’s triumphs since joining in 2017. During his time at Anfield, Robertson has lifted two Premier League trophies, a Champions League, and several other major titles, cementing his status as the club’s most accomplished left-back of the Premier League era.
His dynamic presence on the left flank has been central to Liverpool’s identity under Jurgen Klopp. Now, with 346 appearances to his name, Robertson is approaching the later years of his playing career while the newly appointed manager, Arne Slot, focuses on bringing through younger talent such as 21-year-old Hungarian Milos Kerkez, signed from Bournemouth last summer for £40 million.
Sources close to Robertson say Celtic “lives in his heart”.
A lifelong supporter from Glasgow’s south side, Robertson grew up idolizing Celtic and still keeps track of every match. He even spent his youth years at the club between 2003 and 2009, making a potential return a deeply personal move as much as a professional decision.
Andy Robertson, nearing the twilight of his career, is reportedly open to a January move to Celtic, driven by lifelong loyalty to the club that shaped his early football journey.
