ANDY ROBERTSON has admitted he can't help but consider a possible move to Celtic before hanging up his boots every time he watched his boyhood club.

The Scotland captain is among the top full-backs in the world and still a key player at Liverpool - but he's a revealed an emotional return to Celtic does cross his mind.

Robertson, 28, was released by Celtic as a 15-year-old but rose through the ranks at Queen's Park before moves to Dundee United, Hull and then onto Anfield.

Now, the Scotland skipper - missing the Nations League matches through injury - is a Premier League and Champions League winner.

But he's revealed he often considers a return to Celtic before his career is finished - but only if he can guarantee his own performance levels.

That's not to say Robertson is already thinking of a move from Liverpool, with the full-back admitting he'd be delighted to finish his career at Anfield.

But should there come a time when he is to move on, Celtic Park would be a huge draw for the defender.

Speaking to the Daily Record, he said: "Every time I watch Celtic, I consider it.

“When you watch them and see a packed Celtic Park... as a fan you always have that dream. Ideally I want to finish my career here at Liverpool.

"If I can stay at the top of my game, at the top of the tree my whole career, that’s the route I want to go down.

“But also, when I look at Celtic and when I was growing up, I was thinking I wanted to give them my best years.

"When I was at Queen’s Park I had a dream of still playing with Celtic and always dreamed of giving my best years to Celtic.

“And now I don’t want to go as a 34 or 35-year-old old guy that my uncles start hating on me because I can’t move any more! Time will tell. I’m very much a person who lives in the moment.

“I don’t look too far ahead and I don’t often look back. There will be a time for that.”
