Robbie Deas (born 27 February 2000) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a defender for club Kilmarnock.

Club career

Celtic

Deas signed his first professional contract with Celtic in 2018. He scored the winning goal in stoppage time as Celtic youths beat Rangers 3–2 to lift the Glasgow Cup in May 2019.[2]

Loan moves to Cowdenbeath and Alloa Athletic

On 23 August 2018, Deas joined Scottish League Two club Cowdenbeath on loan for the 2018–19 season.[3] On 9 October 2018, he was named in the SPFL team of the week after a narrow 1–0 victory over Stirling Albion at Central Park.[4]

On 2 August 2019, Deas moved on loan to Scottish Championship club Alloa Athletic for the 2019–20 season.[5]

Inverness CT

Deas left Celtic after the 2019–20 season and signed a three-year contract with Inverness Caledonian Thistle.[6] He played for Inverness in the 2023 Scottish Cup final, which they lost 3–1 to Celtic.[7]

Kilmarnock

Despite interest from Livingston earlier in the year,[8] it was announced that Deas had signed a two-year contract with Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock on 5 June 2023.[7][9]

International career

Deas has represented Scotland at the under-17, under-19 and under-21 levels.[10][11]

Deas received his first call-up to the Scottish under-21 squad on 25 May 2021, alongside Inverness teammates Roddy MacGregor, Daniel MacKay and Cameron Harper, ahead of two friendlies against Northern Ireland.[12]
