Four months after leaving Liverpool, Andy Robertson made his return to Anfield tonight in the colours of Tottenham Hotspur.After nine glorious years with the Reds in which he won two Premier League titles, the Champions League and a host of other trophies, all while becoming one of the best left-backs in world football, the Scotland captain called time on his LFC career in the spring.The Carabao Cup draw ensured that he wouldn’t have to wait too long to find himself playing at Anfield once more, except this time it was for the away team rather than the hosts.Liverpool fans give Robertson a rousing welcome back to AnfieldRobertson was among the substitutes for Spurs’ clash against Liverpool, but he was introduced for Destiny Udogie in the 57th minute with the visitors trailing 2-0.As the change was read aloud on the PA system, the Scottish left-back’s name was said with a notable increase in volume, and a massive cheer went up from all four stands at Anfield as the 32-year-old came onto the pitch.Within a matter of seconds, the chant in his name reverberated around the stadium, just as it has done on many occasions since his move from Hull City in 2017.(Photo by Michael Regan/Getty Images)Robertson given the reception that one former teammate could’ve had…It’s the second season in a row in which a title-winning full-back has returned to Anfield just a few months after departing Liverpool, but the reception for Robertson tonight could hardly have been in starker contrast to that afforded to Trent Alexander-Arnold when Real Madrid played on Merseyside last November.Whereas the latter effectively ran down his contract despite previous proclamations about wanting to become an LFC icon, the Scot gave commendable service right up until his farewell appearance against Brentford in May.He cost an initial £8m from Hull nine years ago, a fee which quickly proved to be an absolute steal as the left-back consistently excelled for the Reds throughout his time with the club, for whom he made 378 appearances.While Robertson is on the pitch tonight to do a job for Spurs first and foremost, inside he must be hugely appreciative of the reception from the home fans who continue to adore him, and will do for decades to come.The raucous welcome he got on his return to Anfield will no doubt be replicated on any future visit, and rightly so.You can watch the Liverpool fans’ reaction to Robertson coming off the bench below, via Sky Sports Football on X:Unsurprisingly, Andy Robertson gets a great reception from the Liverpool fans on his return to Anfield pic.twitter.com/uNM6A00k5F— Sky Sports Football (@SkyFootball) September 15, 2026The post (Video) Watch how Liverpool fans reacted to Andy Robertson coming off the bench on Anfield return appeared first on The Empire of The Kop.
