Robert Robertson was a Scottish footballer who played mainly as a centre half, although early in his career he was an inside forward; his only club at the professional level was St Mirren, where he spent eleven seasons (all in the Scottish Football League's top division),[1] making 296 appearances for the Buddies in the two major competitions and scoring 18 goals.[2] He took part in the 1903 Glasgow Merchants Charity Cup final[3] and the 1908 Scottish Cup Final,[4] both of which St Mirren lost heavily to Celtic (5–2 and 5–1 respectively).
Robertson was selected once for the Scottish Football League XI against the Irish League XI in 1909.[5][6]
