Raymond Alexander Deans (born 24 January 1966) is a Scottish retired footballer.
A former pupil of Stonelaw High School in Rutherglen,[2] Deans started his career as an apprentice with Chelsea before moving back to Scotland in 1983. He made his Clyde debut aged 17 under manager Craig Brown,[3] and went on to score 14 league goals for the club in two years, before transferring to Doncaster Rovers for a fee of £40,000. He only spent a season there, as injury forced him to retire in 1986, aged only 20.[4]
