Liverpool defender Andy Robertson appears to have dropped a cryptic hint that he could stay at Anfield amid speculation about his future. The 31-year-old, who is in the final 12 months of his deal with the Reds, emerged as a shock target for Atletico Madrid last month.
However, the La Liga side appear to have moved on from the Scotland international as they signed Matteo Ruggeri from Atalanta last week. Now, just days later, the Scotland international, who signed from Hull City eight years ago, uploaded a photo of himself to Instagram on Wednesday, celebrating Liverpool's Premier League title success during the open-top bus parade in May.
Robertson is expected to face increased competition at Anfield next season after Liverpool signed Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth last week for a fee in the region of £40m.
But despite the arrival of Kerkez, former Scotland international Ally McCoist has urged Robertson to stay put at Anfield.
Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: "You could see there was maybe a train of thought that his time at Liverpool was perhaps coming to an end.

"Now, I don't know. Andy Robertson could be the type of guy... He'll have a chat with the head coach, of course he will.
"They've signed Kerkez from Bournemouth, who is a terrific player and a good signing. It wouldn't surprise me if Andy Robertson rolls his sleeves up and says, 'Right, I'm having some of this, I'm going nowhere.'
"But, if he doesn't make that decision and decides, 'I'm 31'... By far and away, he's still got some great years ahead of him to play. The one thing he is, he's extremely fit in terms of his ability going up and down that left-hand side.
"Truthfully, too early for him to go back to Scotland, I think. Obviously [Kieran] Tierney going back to Celtic, you think it would eliminate that club straightaway."
