Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has wished that Scotland captain Andrew Robertson stays at Anfield until the expiry of his contract this summer.

The left back’s deal in Merseyside runs out at the end of this season, with rumoured interest from Tottenham Hotspur being reported this month for a cut-price transfer.

But compatriot Dalglish revealed exclusively on The Warm-Up, presented by William Hill, that he hopes the 31-year-old remains at the Premier League holders until the summer to ensure of a fitting send-off.

Dalglish said: “I hope he stays where he is, because he’s been brilliant for Liverpool.

“He’s a decent fella—he’s done a great job.

“I don’t know if he’s going to move on from Liverpool. It may be best to just let it run its course. When his contract is up, it’s up.

“And if he has to go somewhere else, it will be sad. I hope the Liverpool supporters get the opportunity, if he is going to go, to say cheerio to him.”

The Scotland captain joined Liverpool from Hull City in 2017, but had faced stiff competition this season for playing time since the Reds signed Hungarian Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth last summer.

Spurs have already made their interest clear, and there have been murmurs of a move back to his homeland to boyhood heroes Celtic, who released Robertson at youth level.
