Former Airdrie United player Justin Devenny has scored for Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

What happened?

Devenny's journey began at Kilmarnock, where he graduated through their youth system. He had a loan spell at Broomhill and then joined Airdrieonians, now known as Airdrie United, in Scottish League One. Devenny made 24 league starts in the promotion-winning season and scored the opening goal in a 6-2 win against Falkirk.

Why it matters for Airdrie United

Airdrie United is currently 9th in the Scottish Championship, with 36 points from 36 games, and a recent form of DWDDL. Their last result was a 1-2 loss to Alloa Athletic on 2026-05-09. Devenny's success story can inspire the current squad.

What comes next?

Devenny's move to Crystal Palace was facilitated by their extensive scouting network in Scotland. The initial fee of £150,000 brought him to south London to join their under-21s. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 9th in Scottish Championship | | Points | 36 | | Recent form | DWDDL | | Last result | 1-2 loss to Alloa Athletic | Devenny's international career has begun with Northern Ireland, for whom he qualifies through his Belfast-born mother.
