Robertson went on to play for Ayr United, before Hearts signed him for a £25,000 fee in 1977.[1] Hearts were battling with Ayr against relegation, but Robertson was sent off in a decisive match between the two teams.[1] Hearts were a yo-yo club in the late 1970s and early 1980s; Robertson helped the club gain promotion back to the Premier Division in 1978 and 1980.[1]
Robertson left Hearts in 1981 to play in Canada for Toronto Blizzard.[1] He briefly returned to Scotland, playing for Dundee United and Hibernian.[1] This preceded a final playing spell with Maltese side Hamrun Spartans.[1] Robertson played just under 300 league matches during his twelve-year career.
His son, Sandy Robertson, played for Rangers in the 1990s.[1]
