Career

Rangers including loan deals

Lee Robinson made his first-team debut for Rangers on 7 May 2006, coming on as a substitute for Ronald Waterreus for the last twelve minutes of Rangers 2–0 win over Hearts. In December 2006, Robinson signed a new contact, to keep him at Rangers until the summer of 2009.

On 6 July 2007, it was announced that Robinson would spend the duration of the 2007–08 season on loan at Greenock Morton. In October 2008, Robinson moved to Scottish First Division side St. Johnstone on a month-long loan deal as backup to Alan Main

Lee returned to Rangers on 31 December 2008. He later signed a loan deal to play for First Division club Queen of the South until the end of season 2008–09. He played eighteen matches for the Dumfries club. He left Rangers in the summer of 2009.

Kilmarnock

Robinson then signed for Kilmarnock on a free transfer. He made one first team appearance in his season at the Killie.

Queen of the South

Roddy McKenzie sustained a serious injury in the pre season testimonial game for Jim Thomson against Rangers at Palmerston Park. The severity of the injury merited Queens signing Lee Robinson to provide additional goalkeeping resource to the squad due to McKenzie's absence. Robinson re-joined Queen of the South on a short term deal and then a further deal to last half a season.

Robinson played a half game in a pre season friendly against Hamilton Academical. He then started in the League Cup win against Albion Rovers on 24 July 2010. Robinson in the Alba Cup 2nd round penalty shoot out win away at Dunfermline Athletic on 10 August 2010 was described by one reporter as, "excellent all night, he commands his box well and when called upon made a couple of fine saves one of which was superb and of course he made 2 crucial penalty saves too. So for that he'd be my man of the match."

Robinson continued to be selected for Queens cup games with Hutton being favoured for league encounters. This led to Robinson playing in the Challenge Cup semi final 2-1 win away at Peterhead on Saturday 9 October 2010.

The club announced on 13 January 2011 that he had left Queens again. His last appearance was in the 2-1 Scottish Cup to Brechin City the Tuesday before.

Queens signed Robinson yet again on 28 July 2011 for the 2011-12 season after a period in which he had been training with the club. His first game of this spell was early in the season on 20 August in a 2-0 defeat to Ross Coounty. From this he established himself as the first choice goal keeper for the first time at Palmerston into the New Year. This led to McKenzie leaving by mutual consent on 10 August 2012.
