Robertson was selected for the Scotland national under-21 football team in April 2012, but was forced to withdraw due to a knee injury. [4]

In May 2012, Robertson signed a new three-year deal with Aberdeen, tying him to the club until 2015. [5] He was released by Aberdeen in June 2015 and subsequently signed for Blackpool. [6]

In July 2018, Robertson signed a three-year deal with Championship side Rotherham United. [7] He scored his first Rotherham United goal on 27 November 2018, in a 2–2 home draw against Queens Park Rangers. [8] On 17 May 2021, Rotherham United published their retained list, and confirmed Robertson would be leaving the club at the end of his contract. [9]

On 22 June 2021, it was announced that Robertson had signed a two-year contract with Portsmouth, and would join them on 1 July. [10] He would suffer an injury in September that ended in December but didn’t play a game back until January.
