Tigers’ Robertson wins plaudits in Scotland draw

Hull City defender Andy Robertson earned rave reviews for his performance in Scotland’s 2-2 draw with England in Glasgow.

The 23-year-old played all 90 minutes at Hampden Park on Saturday as Gareth Southgate’s England scored at the death to salvage a point in the World Cup qualifier.

After the match, Glaswegian Robertson won the praises of Sky Sports pundits Graeme Souness and Jamie Redknapp, with Souness suggesting that the defender’s attacking prowess could be a one-way ticket to leave the Championship side.

The former Newcastle United manager said: “I think there’s a very good chance he will leave Hull. He catches the eye because he’s very good.

“He’s a winger turned into a modern-day full-back. I can understand why a lot of people like him, when teams get relegated the vultures do hover around and try and cherry-pick the best players available.

“What he’s got, he’s got that tremendous ability to get forward and deliver.”

Even prior to City’s relegation from the Premier League, Robertson had been linked with a move away from East Yorkshire, with Burnley having seen their £10m bid for the defender rejected on the final day of the January transfer window.

And Robertson hinted only last week that him departing the KCOM could be a possibility.

The defender said: “I’ll sit down with the people I need to talk to, and decide if it’s right for me to stay at Hull, or if I should look to move on. That’s not something I’m going to worry about until well into the summer.”
