ANDY ROBERTSON has admitted it would fulfil a childhood dream to play on a Champions League night at Celtic Park.
The Scotland captain grew up wishing he'd be playing for Celtic on the European stage.
And while he's flying-high at Liverpool now, Robertson would love the chance to play against his boyhood club in European competition.
Celtic earned automatic qualification to the Champions League group stage after winning the Scottish Premiership title.
And it means a group alongside Liverpool - who are in the Champions League final this term - is a possibility.
For Robertson, it'd be a thrill to head back to Glasgow to play at Parkhead on Champions League duty, but he'd be equally excited about his team-mates experiencing the atmosphere.
Speaking to the BBC, Robertson said: "Well look, as a young boy my dream was to play Champions League football at Celtic Park.
“I wanted to be in a green and white jersey, now obviously being at such a massive club like Liverpool then I think I would enjoy it.
“Obviously, I’ve been there as a fan, done ball boy games for Celtic in the Champions League. The atmosphere is incredible, very similar to Anfield.
“I’d love the rest of them to experience it as well.
“Obviously, that’s not until next season but if we did get them then it would be an occasion I would look forward to.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
