Livingston FC have reached an agreement to sign Celtic B team captain Mitchell Robertson. The 20-year-old defender, currently on loan at Inverness Caledonian Thistle, will join David Martindale’s side after completing his season-long spell in League One. The West Lothian club have secured future add-ons as part of the deal, allowing Robertson to plan his long-term future sooner rather than later.
Who is Mitchell Robertson?
Robertson is a powerful defender who has been captaining Celtic’s B team. The 20-year-old is keen to progress his career by playing regular first-team football at the highest possible level. Despite agreeing to join Livingston, he will continue gaining experience with Inverness for the remainder of this season.
Why Livingston FC?
Livingston are in a relegation battle in the Scottish Premiership, sitting 12th in the final 2025 table with just 16 points from 33 games. They trail Kilmarnock and St Mirren by four and eight points respectively. The club’s recent form has been inconsistent, with a record of LDLDD in their last five matches. Robertson’s arrival could provide a much-needed boost to their defensive line, which conceded 66 goals last season.
What’s next for Robertson?
Robertson will remain at Inverness Caledonian Thistle for the rest of the season, where he will continue to develop his game. The deal with Livingston includes future add-ons, ensuring that both clubs benefit from the youngster’s progression. Robertson’s focus will be on gaining as much experience as possible before making the move to the Premiership.
