Alexander 'Sandy' Robertson (born 26 April 1971 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish former footballer who played in midfield.
His father, Malky Robertson, was also a professional footballer, with Ayr United, Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian.[2]
Robertson began his career with Rangers where manager Graeme Souness labelled him the best young player in Britain.[3] He scored Rangers' first goal under manager Walter Smith in a 1–0 victory over St Mirren on 20 April 1991 at Love Street.[4] However, in August 1997 he was jailed for assaulting a restaurant doorman in Edinburgh while drunk.[3][5] He had a previous conviction for assault in 1991.[6] Robertson later received facial scarring in a bottle attack.[3]
