Scotland captain Andy Robertson previously admitted that Celtic 'was his life' as he hints at a possible Liverpool exit.
The Glasgow-born left-back has established himself as a Reds icon throughout his years on Merseyside, winning a Champions League title and adding a second Premier League crown to his collection under Arne Slot this campaign. Yet, things weren't always plain sailing for Robertson, who was released by his boyhood club, Celtic, as a 15-year-old for being too small.
As a busy summer transfer window beckons at Anfield, and continuous reports suggest that a new left-back will be targeted in the market, Robertson's past comments about The Hoops have resurfaced as he hints that his time as a Liverpool player could soon end.
Robertson, who is out of contract in 2026, spoke to Match of the Day after Liverpool's title win and admitted that his future is up in the air when asked about his position going forward.
"Obviously, the club are going to have a busy summer, so we need to see where everyone stands," Robertson admitted. "But it's been a special time here, I loved my time here.
"It's been eight special years, and I've cherished every moment I've played in front of these fans, especially at Anfield. Today was special."
The 31-year-old has never shied away from his love for Celtic. He grew up a fan of the club and, in 2023, told the We Are Liverpool podcast: "Celtic was my life.
"Had the season ticket, used to go to every home game in particular and try to go to some away games and things like that. Went to school, and then you come back and you go in your garden and you pretend to be Henrik Larsson, for instance.

"I was lucky. The team I grew up with was a fantastic Celtic team with Henrik Larsson, Chris Sutton, Stiliyan Petrov, all these players. Neil Lennon. So I had a really good team to watch.
"They were all my heroes. Celtic was it for me. I didn't really watch much other football, I was that focused on trying to watch Celtic, and Celtic was in the Champions League.
"That's when I watched them play against English teams and stuff, but I didn't watch that much English football. I only watched really the Champions League when [English] teams played in it.
"If a Celtic game was on and say Liverpool were playing Man United, I'd watch Celtic against Motherwell or whoever it was. So it was always Celtic for me."
Such an admission could indicate where Robertson may wish to play his football should he depart Liverpool, and ex-Reds striker Fernando Morientes stated this month that he feels Parkhead could possibly be the defender's next destination.
"Robertson has spoken about Celtic, and it's probably because he's thinking about it [a move]," Morientes told CasinoHawks regarding the Scotsman's future.

"He is 31 and coming towards the end of his career. I think if he has a special bond with Celtic and the club recognises him as an important player, then it could be possible."
