Career

society

Andrejs Rubins began his career in 1996 with the Latvian second division club FK Auda . After not a single league game, he moved to Sweden to Östers IF from the city of Växjö in 1997 . After eleven league games in Fotbollsallsvenskan , he returned to Latvia in 1998 and went to the record champions Skonto Riga . He was regularly used at Skonto and played 67 league games in two years, scoring 14 times. He also won the championship title three times and the national cup twice. In October 2000 he moved to the English Football League First Division at Crystal Palace for two million pounds sterling , where he played with his teammate from the national team Aleksandrs Koļinko . On November 1, he scored his premier goal in a 3-0 League Cup win against Leicester City . On January 10, 2001 he again scored a goal in the League Cup, this time in a surprising 2-1 victory over Liverpool FC . In December 2002 it was announced that Rubins was moving to the Russian top club Spartak Moscow in January 2003 . Only three months later he was sold to Schinnik Yaroslavl without making a single league game and was able to book 51 league games and four goals by the end of the 2004 season. In January 2005 he signed a five-year contract with his old club Spartak Moscow, the then Latvian sports director Aleksandrs Starkovs persuaded him to move again. But the second attempt at Spartak was not so successful either. After only five games, he was loaned to his previous club Schinnik Yaroslavl for a year in January 2006. In June 2007 the rumor arose that Rubins might move to Blackpool FC , but was then loaned out to the Virslīga to Liepājas Metalurgs for six months . There he and his team won the Baltic League in 2007 .

In January 2008 he moved to Azerbaijan to İnter Baku . There he succeeded in winning the Premyer Liqası 2010. In 49 games he came on nine hits. In 2010 he went to the reigning master Qarabağ Ağdam . Only a year later he moved to league rivals PFK Simurq Zaqatala . After spending a season there, Rubins ended his active career.

National team

He made his debut in the national team on November 10, 1998 in the 3-0 defeat by Tunisia . When he won the Baltic Cup in 2001, he scored the interim equalizer in a 4-1 victory over Lithuania and thus his first international goal. Also in the triumph in the Baltic Cup in 2003, he met again against Lithuania for a short 2-0 lead. In 2004 his country made it to the finals of the 2004 European Football Championship . In Group D they lost to the superior teams from the Netherlands and the Czech Republic , but achieved a respectable success with a 0-0 win against Germany and brought them to the brink of defeat several times. On April 1, 2009, he completed his 100th international match in the World Cup qualifier against Luxembourg . So far, Rubins has played 117 international matches for his home country, in which he scored nine goals.
