Robbie Deas, born on 27 February 2000 (age 26), is a Scottish central defender whose senior career began to take shape away from Celtic rather than at it. His early loan spells gave him the sort of first-team grounding that youth football rarely manages, and in August 2020 he left Celtic permanently for Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
That move to Inverness was the practical next step, but it is Kilmarnock that has come to frame his career. Deas has made 99 league appearances for the Ayrshire club across four seasons, scoring four league goals, and has become a regular part of their back line rather than a passing squad name.
His most productive league campaign came in 2025-26, when he scored two goals in 36 appearances for Kilmarnock. In 2026-27, he has added one league appearance, five in the League Cup and one in the Scottish Cup, taking him to seven appearances in all competitions for the season.
Deas’s career has been a straightforward Scottish route: Celtic development, senior experience on loan, a permanent move to Inverness, then a sustained spell at Kilmarnock. It is there, more than anywhere else, that he has built his profile as an established professional.
