Rovers career stats up to season 2022-23: Played 55 (48 starts). Clean Sheets 12.

Robbie signed for the Rovers after being released by Falkirk.

He follows in the footsteps of his father Scott who was of course between the sticks when the Rovers won the Division 1 and League Cup double, and played in the UEFA Cup in the mid 1990’s.

Having started his career in the Celtic youth system (joining the Glasgow giants aged 8), Robbie signed a 2 year pro contract in 2012 and was loaned out to Stenhousemuir and Airdrie in season 2012–13 playing a total of 18 games for the Warriors and the Diamonds.

He left Celtic to sign for Rochdale for the 2013–14 season, leaving at the end of that season due to lack of first team opportunities at Spotland, having only played once for The Dale.
Cowdenbeath was his next port of call, where he linked up with former Rovers manager Jimmy Nicholl, playing 32 games in the SPFL Championship campaign and being voted the Supporters Player and Young Player of the season.
Season 2015-16 saw Robbie sign for Queen of the South where he played 30 games before Lee Robinson returned to Palmerston as first choice goalkeeper.

On leaving Dumfries he joined Hamilton on a short-term deal when 3 of their goalkeepers were injured, playing 1 game for the Accies.

Robbie then signed for Falkirk; playing 27 games between January 2017 and May 2018.
In July 2020 Robbie agreed a 1 year contract with the club before the start of the Championship season, extending his contract by a further 2 years to also include Goalkeeping Coach responsibilities.

At the end of the 2022-23 season, Robbie extended his contract to the end of season 2023-24.
