The former Dundee United midfielder has two international caps to his name after making his Scots debut in the 2008 Hampden friendly against Argentina.
But he has switched to Easter Road after a move south to npower Championship outfit Blackpool turned sour.
Now he insists winning a place in Pat Fenlon's squad, starting with Wednesday's trip to Ross County in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League, is his only target for the time being.
He said: "I'm not thinking about a Scotland call-up whatsoever. All I want to do is firstly get a place in the this team and do well for Hibs.
"If anything else comes along after, that will take care of itself."
Robertson managed just one appearance for his former Bloomfield Road employers - a 3-0 defeat away to Cardiff in October - and the frustrating spell coincided with personal issues that made a return to Scotland just six months after quitting Tannadice a necessity.
But despite the failure of move south of the border, the 27-year-old believes he returns to the SPL a better player than the one who left.
He said: "I'm happy to be back in Scotland and hopefully playing. For personal reasons it's great to be back as well.
"The fact that Hibs are doing well this season made the decision to come here easy. The manager was also in contact and said he wanted to bring me here, which helped too. It's always a good sign that you are wanted and will be made welcome.
"There was interest from him at the end of last season but at that time I was convinced I was going to give England a shot. It never turned out too good for me but I'm fully confident in my ability that I can come here and do well.
"You learn from all your experiences in football, even the bad ones. My time at Blackpool wasn't the way I wanted it to be but I'm a stronger player and person for that."
Hibs travel north to the Global Energy Stadium on the back of three successive stalemates.
They had at one point in November looked set to usurp Celtic at the top of the table but have now dropped back to fourth, three points behind Inverness and Motherwell, who share second place.
And Robertson has seen enough to suggest the Leith side could rise again.
"Europe is definitely something we can aim for," he said. "We don't look shaky in defence, we are pretty solid. Perhaps we could be a bit more adventurous going forward and score a few more.
"If we do that, there is no reason why we can't push on and catch the teams above us. I think we are capable of finishing second."
