David Watson from Kilmarnock. Anyone hearing this?
07 Dec 2025 19:54:57
Yep being doing the rounds for over a year.
07 Dec 2025 19:58:21
Found this:
Club Interest: Rangers, Celtic, Hearts, English Championship sides.
Player: David Watson, Scotland U21 international midfielder for Kilmarnock.
Contract: Expires in Summer 2026; he can sign a pre-contract in January 2026.
Rangers' Stance: See him as a homegrown solution, eager to sign him, possibly in January for a reduced fee.
Watson's Stance: Reportedly keen on joining Rangers.
Kilmarnock's Stance: Open to a winter sale to avoid losing him for free.
Why the Interest?
Talent: Highly-rated young Scottish talent with significant potential.
Homegrown Status: Fills a key homegrown requirement for Scottish clubs.
Versatility: Can play various midfield roles (holding, box-to-box, playmaker).
Experience: Despite his age (20), he has Europa/Conference League experience.
The situation is developing, but Rangers are in a strong position to land the midfielder if they can agree on terms this winter, notes FootballTransfers. com.

Apparently been watching him for quite a while.
07 Dec 2025 19:26:23
Im sure someone posted last week. Tbh I've not been overly impressed when he plays against us but that's lonited to judge.
07 Dec 2025 20:41:49
I've seen his name mentioned several times on here.
07 Dec 2025 20:48:30
Didn't realise out of contract this year. Well worth a move for him then before someone else snaps him up.
07 Dec 2025 20:56:46
Worth a punt but I don't think he is good enough on the ball, has that get stuck in attitude though and might improve with "better" players.
07 Dec 2025 21:56:14
I think he may be another who is dusting off their passport.
07 Dec 2025 22:13:11
Still only 20? Be worth signing now and assess him for next few months and the summer with a view to a years loan if he's not quite ready come the summer.
07 Dec 2025 22:25:49
I've always liked Kilmarnock midfielder david watson and hope we do sign him Fork ?But if Celtic are interested and him being a Celtic supporter, if they are in for him, i feel that's where he'll go ☹️.
07 Dec 2025 23:29:21
Ehl are u hearing he's off to Italy mate.
07 Dec 2025 23:52:00
He's not a Celtic fan.
08 Dec 2025 04:50:44
Gers he 100 percent is he and his family are big Celtic fans.
08 Dec 2025 05:13:56
"Still only 20? Be worth signing now and assess him for next few months and the summer with a view to a years loan if he's not quite ready come the summer. "
Why would we need to put him on a year loan? Why would he not be ready? He's been playing regularly for the last 3 seasons.
08 Dec 2025 07:27:56
Not sure Stevie, has offers from a number of countries, including teams from Switzerland and Austria who are European regulars.
08 Dec 2025 07:36:39
I would like to intertwine some good Scottish players throughout the team, I feel the balance has to have at least 3 or 4 in the team to thrive in Scottish football, the much maligned Barron being a great example of how grit and determination can give that extra 10 % and rub off on others.
08 Dec 2025 09:09:18
whether he supports them or us doesn't matter, players go where they feel the best contract and terms are.
its their career here not who they support.
do agree though if all else is equal he would likely go to celtic.
08 Dec 2025 09:36:47
He ain't gona play for them probably not play for us either.
08 Dec 2025 09:56:03
Really want more Scottish players and have heard rumblings about Watson for about a year but I'm honestly not too sure about him.
08 Dec 2025 10:18:05
Ehl cheers mate
Scottw, cause aftet assessing him he may not be ready to take a place in the squad that provides him with enough minutes at his crucial age to keep progressing.
He's only 20, meeds to be playing regularly, even as a sub is good. Not in the stands.
Hence a loan, happens all the time in fi or ball Thata the point in loans.
It's n out to get rid of duds we just seem to think that is all it's for.
08 Dec 2025 10:48:14
I agree that but we need to be carful look at Michael O'Halloran going to Celtic games and not giving his all imo most pros will but I still remember that C##t doing that.
08 Dec 2025 12:46:39
We signed Cameron who was excellent at Dundee and look at the amount of minutes he has played for the first team.
Watson would he be a 1st team regular, not so sure?
08 Dec 2025 11:10:29
I can see him going to Italy ??.
08 Dec 2025 14:36:16
They will need the money as not many turning up to watch them, they could fill more seats but cut nose off to spite face, tinpot club going down.
08 Dec 2025 20:13:59
There are many small Celtic fans too.
09 Dec 2025 02:38:05
Surely he takes one look at Cameron and says nope!
Better for him to go abroad
Cameron doesn't have asich compitition in his role as watson would have.
09 Dec 2025 04:57:52
But remember lyall Cameron wasn't Danny Rohl's signing forever, whereas if we do sign david watson he will be Danny Rohl's signing and there lies your answer mate ?.
