Born in Edinburgh, Robertson started his career a Salvesen's Boys Club and moved to Rangers in 1976. He stayed at the club for three years before moving on to Hearts for two seasons. Robertson was then to have the first of two spells at Meadowbank Thistle, which had stints with Cowdenbeath and Raith Rovers separating them. In 1983, he joined Thistle permanently and went on to make close to 100 appearances in a four-year stay. A brief spell with Berwick Rangers followed in 1987 before Robertson moved to the junior leagues with Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic.[2]
