Sir Kenny Dalglish has heaped praise on Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson and claimed few are better than the Scot in his position.
The full-back moved to Jurgen Klopp’s side for just £8million from Hull in 2017 and has been a permanent fixture on the left flank for the Reds ever since.
At one point Robertson’s career looked it was in tatters when he was released by Celtic nearly a decade ago for being too small.
But he has staged an extraordinary ascendancy in the game since his call-up to his first club Queen’s Park and is now odds-on to lift the Premier League trophy with Liverpool.
Just last week, the Scotland captain committed his future to the club until the end of the 2023/24 season.
Former Liverpool boss Sir Kenny Dalglish has lauded Robertson for his influence at Anfield since his arrival.
Writing in his Sunday Post column, Dalglish said: “For Andy to be where he was just seven years ago – when he was let go by Celtic – to where he is now, is a classic example to any young footballer that you should never give up and never stop believing.
“Indeed, to young players up and down the UK who are freed every year by the big clubs, Andy is a role model. He has displayed just what can be achieved by hard work, perseverance and dedication.
“His level of consistency has been reflected in this new deal. It’s a great endorsement of Andy’s ability and just what everyone at the football club thinks of him, from the coaching staff to players such as Virgil van Dijk, James Milner, Jordan Henderson and Mo Salah.
“I have to admit I’m delighted to see him commit his future to Liverpool. For me, there are few, if any, better than him in his position.”
Robertson and Liverpool currently have a prolonged break until their next outing as they are out of the FA Cup so they do not have a fixture this weekend.
Their next match is at home to Leicester in the Premier League.
