Scout report

Project playerCentral defender

R. Deas is a 26-year-old central defender at Kilmarnock, rated 42.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 81st of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (91.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.32 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Deas.

Judged on this season alone, Deas graded 32 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 15% of the 35 centre-backs in the Premiership, on 8 clean sheets and 3.316 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 30 → 32). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 26% of the 35 centre-backs in the Premiership. At 26 Deas is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 91.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 42.9, Deas carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership (top 26%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Kilmarnock finished 11th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
