Scott Robertson (born 7 April 1985) is a Scottish footballer, who is currently at Scottish Championship side Raith Rovers. Robertson has previously played for Dundee, Peterhead, Dundee United, Blackpool, Hibernian & Botosani. He is a midfielder who has also represented Scotland.
Robertson began his career with Dundee, but made his senior debut while on loan at Peterhead, spending the second part of the 2003–04 season at Balmoor. At the start of the following season, he returned to Peterhead on loan, resulting in him spending all of 2004 with the Scottish Third Division side. In January 2005, shortly after returning to Dens Park, he made his Dundee debut, going on to feature in ten matches that season and attracting interest from Craig Levein at Leicester City. Despite the interest, Robertson signed a new deal to keep him at the club until 2008. Following Dundee's relegation from the Scottish Premier League, Robertson became a regular in the First Division, missing just one league match in the 2005–06 season. Robertson maintained his starting place in 2006–07 and in 2007–08, his return of five league goals was his most prolific season.
After rejecting a new contract in April 2008, and with his contract close to expiry, Robertson signed for Dundee's rivals Dundee United on 3 June 2008, with Craig Levein – then in charge at United – getting the player he had tried to sign three years previously. The 23-year-old joined the Tannadice club under freedom of contract and agreed a three-year deal. Dundee openly criticised United about the way they pursued Robertson, stating that United had been "disrespectful" towards their Dee rivals. In September, Robertson scored his first goal, netting in the League Cup victory over Airdrie United. Four days later, Robertson scored his first league goal, netting the third in a 3–0 win over Hearts and by mid-November, had played every minute of United's matches that season. In January, however, an osteitis pubis diagnosis ruled him out for the remaining few months of the season, although he made one substitute appearance in May. After his recovery, Robertson revealed that he credited surgeon David Lloyd for saving his career and revealed it was the hardest moment of his career. He also said that 2009 was his worst year.
