Hugh Robertson (29 November 1939 – 12 March 2010) was a Scottish association football player and manager. He played as a winger for the Dundee team that won the Scottish league championship in 1962, and the Dunfermline side that won the 1968 Scottish Cup. He later managed Danish club Herfølge.[4]
Robertson represented the Scotland national football team once, in a vital 1962 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Czechoslovakia.[5] 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.[5] Despite two goals by Ian St. John, Scotland lost 4–2 after extra time.[5]
Robertson died at his home on 12 March 2010.[6]
