Michael Alexander Robertson is a Scottish former international rugby union player.[1]
Robertson attended Stewart's College in Edinburgh and was a scrum-half in schoolboy rugby. He got switched to wing-forward when he played with Stewart's Melville FP.[2] After moving to Gala, Robertson's form was good enough that he was preferred to Scotland international Adam Robson in the South of Scotland District back-row.[2] He gained his solitary Scotland cap in a 1958 Five Nations match against France at Murrayfield, which they won 11–9.[3]
