Reds ace’s charity helping kids access football
Liverpool and Scotland footballer Andy Robertson

LIVERPOOL and Scotland footballer Andy Robertson has launched a charity to “fight for what’s right” in his homeland – but he said he is unlikely to follow in Marcus Rashford’s footsteps and lobby politicians.

AR26 is named after Robertson’s shirt number from stints at Dundee United, Hull City and now Liverpool.

It aims to give opportunities to children from poorer backgrounds by offering equal access to free football training, support and job opportunities.
