Robertson represented the Scotland national football team once, in a vital 1962 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Czechoslovakia.[http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/2864/29/ Scot's miss] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090302163453/http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/2864/29/ |date=2 March 2009 }}, When Saturday Comes, July 2002. Injuries to Davie Wilson and Alex Scott meant that Robertson and Ralph Brand were brought in for the match, which Scotland had to win to qualify. Despite two goals by Ian St. John, Scotland lost 4–2 after extra time.

Robertson died at his home on 12 March 2010.http://www.dundeefc.co.uk/news_detail.asp?ID=3148{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
