Robin maybe turning glitzy, acting like a football player? (9)
I believe the answer is:
dribbling
'robin' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dribbling that I've seen before include "playing football?" , "Acting like a baby" , "Talent of an infant" , "the art of a footballer?" .)
