The defender is a hero at Liverpool but has not hidden from Celtic being his boyhood favourites.
Celtic have been told they would be foolish not to be considering a move for one Liverpool star next year.
In the summer window, Kieran Tierney made an emotional return to Parkhead, following the left-back’s stint at Arsenal. Now another blockbuster left-back rumour has emerged with Andy Robertson speculated to be in Celtic sights with his Liverpool deal coming to an end at the conclusion of this season.
Milos Kerkez arrived in the summer from Bournemouth in a £40m deal that looked to have relegated Scotland’s national team captain to second choice, but his form has been unconvincing, prompting a starting XI return for Robertson at Manchester City on Sunday. The 32-year-old is a Hoops fan and club favourite Sutton says Celtic should be looking beyond his age, as Robertson has shown a match for one of Liverpool’s big money signings. If there’s a deal to be done, the ex-striker reckons Celtic should seek it.

What is Andy Robertson’s status at Celtic?
Sutton told Record Sport’s Celtic Podcast: “You’re looking at his physical condition. I mean, you know, what’s happened to him at Liverpool? Arne Slot brought Kerkez in to replace him. What happened at the weekend, Kerkez was the sure-fire starter at the start of the season.
“You know, they spent a fortune on him. And all of a sudden at the weekend, Manchester City, Andy Robertson is back in the team. I suspect he’ll get a lot more game time at Liverpool.
“Robertson has that experience and has that quality and has that know-how. So I think at 32, he could, you know, he could stroll back to Scotland. And I’m not saying that he will, you know, necessarily find it easy all the time, but he’s too much quality for if he came available.
Should Celtic sign Andy Robertson?
“You’re going on about his age. I think it’s different to Kieran Tierney. Kieran Tierney had injuries before he left for Celtic, didn’t play loads of football at Arsenal, and we talked about maybe psychologically, there’s something there where he has that doubt about his struggle to finish games and maybe he’ll come back and hit the heights, which he has.
“But I think Andy Robertson’s different to Kieran Tierney. If his levels of fitness are there, I mean, Celtic would be daft not to take him. I know Liverpool are having a rank-rotten season at this moment in time, but you’ve got a player who was discarded by the manager who’s just come into the team and looks like he’s going to play ahead of how much was Kerkez, £60-odd million, whatever he was.
“Yeah, so you get an opportunity for a player to come back. And he doesn’t seem the type of guy to me who would just want to come back and take a wage and finish playing for his boyhood club. He’s always seemed a pretty determined type of guy. And that’s why he’s achieved what he’s achieved.”
