Andy Robertson has been told to fight for his place at Liverpool - with a dream move to Celtic unlikely.

The Scotland captain, 31, faces an uncertain future as he enters the final year of his contract with the Premier League champions.

Robbo has made the left-back position his own since his bargain £8million move from Hull City in 2017.

But the defender now faces serious competition from incoming Bournemouth star Milos Kerkez.

Spanish giants Atletico Madrid could offer Robertson a blockbuster switch to La Liga, where he would go head-to-head with close pal and new Real Madrid signing Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Robertson has never hidden his desire to play for Celtic either, but Chelsea legend Pat Nevin reckons Kieran Tierney's return could prevent a romantic move to Parkhead.

Speaking to Spin Genie, who offer the latest jackpot slots, Nevin said: "You know when a team like Liverpool are spending £40, £50 million on new players, that they are going to buy someone for them to come and sit on the bench.

Milos Kerkez is joining with a view to replacing Andy Robertson.

"There are two things Andy can do: either fight for his place or think, 'I don't want to spend the last few years of my career on the bench, so I'll leave.' He needs to have a good talk with Arne Slot and make a decision.

"The good thing for him is that there will be plenty of offers on the table.

There will be offers from Spain, other English clubs and I'm sure Celtic would take him if it were an affordable prospect.

"With two left-backs (including Kieran Tierney), however, Brendan Rodgers would end up with the same problem Steve Clarke faces, which is trying to shoehorn them both into the team.

Kieran Tierney joining Celtic could prevent it from happening.

"With that being said, though, I, personally, would like to see him stick it out for another year at Liverpool, but that's only if he's been told that he's still in the manager's thinking.

If he's not, I'd get out now."
