The left-back faces the prospect of playing Championship football if he pens a deal in North London

Out of contract Andy Robertson is unlikely to agree to play for Tottenham if they are relegated to the English Championship.

That is according to former Scotland international Kevin Gallacher - who reckons the 32-year-old will have plenty of options on the table.

The Scotland captain has announced he will bring the curtain down on a glittering nine years with the Reds where he has lifted every major honour possible - including two Premier League titles and the Champions League.

Reports suggest that the 32-year-old has "verbally agreed" to join Tottenham - who showed interest in the left-back in January - provided they avoid relegation from the Premier League.

But a winless first two games for Roberto De Zerbi, Spurs are currently a point behind West Ham with just five games left to save their season - with Nuno's sitting with a game in hand.

Gallacher reckons that Roberston won't be "anxious" to drop into the second-tier with the North London club - and would consider other options abroad if Spurs were relegated.

Discussing the left-back - who has also been touted with a move to boyhood club Celtic - Gallacher wrote for the Sunday Post: "Regarding dugout changes, there are a few people down south who to would like to see Tottenham get relegated because it would send a message that too much chopping and changing can do considerable damage.

"Football is not just a business. Spurs have been heavily linked with our own Andy Robertson, who is to leave Liverpool after nine terrific years at Anfield.

"At 32, Andy will be anxious to keep playing, but not so anxious that I would see him agreeing to sign for them if they went down to the Championship.

"If they stay up that might fit the bill, though the chance to join the raft of his young Scotland teammates who have headed for Italy would surely hold appeal.

"And likewise with any Spanish options he may have."
