News'You're a credit to LFC' - Sir Kenny Dalglish's message to Andy Robertson
Sir Kenny Dalglish has paid his own special tribute to Andy Robertson as the left-back leaves Liverpool this weekend.
After nine brilliant years with the Reds that have featured nearly 400 games, a raft of major honours – including two league titles and a Champions League – Robertson will bid farewell at Anfield on Sunday.
The No.26 recently sat down for a BBC Sport interview in which Sir Kenny delivered a personal message of admiration.
“It’s a great coincidence between Scottish people and Liverpool,” the Reds icon told Robertson.
“None of us that played for Liverpool would have been there without Shanks [Bill Shankly], who set it off at the very beginning for everybody.
“Throughout the years when Shanks was there and since he left, there has been a lot of successful times for Liverpool but there’s also been a lot of Scottish people. For some reason, they seem to enjoy it. They seem to be able to mix in with the punters, and they like to see a wee bit of Scottish in it.
“I think you fitted the bill perfectly. You’re a great credit to yourself. You’re a great credit to the football club, the way you conducted yourself and what you have produced for the club.
“You can see that with your winner’s medals.
“You’ve done yourself proud, you’ve done Liverpool Football Club proud. You did Scotland proud.”
