Andy Robertson has revealed that he was on the phone to David Turnbull during the desperate summer of 2019.

In Madrid the full-back was on top of the world as Liverpool beat Spurs 2-0 to win the Champions League to complete an incredible spell for the former Queens Park defender.

Back in Lanarkshire Turnbull was going through every emotion imaginable. After an outstanding season for Motherwell he was about to become the first Celtic signing of Neil Lennon with a £3m deal agreed as he looked around Lennoxtown and ticked off his interview with Celtic TV.

Disaster struck during his medical when a knee issue was identified. A life changing transfer was off the table while he wondered what level he would return to after surgery and at least six months out of action.

Discussing the new players in the Scotland squad, Robertson told the Daily Record:

David Turnbull I spoke to a couple of times when his Celtic move fell through the first time as we have the same agent.

Turnbull is one of three uncapped players in the Scotland squad but is likely to get some game time in the pre European Championship friendlies against Holland (June 2) and Luxembourg (June 6).
