Gillingham have confirmed the season-long loan arrival of Scott Robertson from Celtic as Steve Evans continues to prepare his side for another League One campaign.

The Gills will be hoping to put together a play-off challenge if possible after having that opportunity taken away thanks to the curtailment of last season.

Robertson is the latest to join that challenge, then, with him recently signing a contract extension at parent club Celtic through to 2023.

Clearly, he is highly-rated at the Glasgow giants and the Gills revealed that Neil Lennon specifically picked Gillingham as the club he wanted the player to go on loan to for the season.

A midfielder, he has played in the Europa League for the Bhoys after starting against CFR Cluj back in December and will be hoping for plenty more starts this season coming for his new temporary side.
