Nicky Devlin starts Aberdeen transfer drive focused on Scots as UEFA homegrown rule hangs heavy

Barry Robson has landed Nicky Devlin and is set to boost his Scottish contingent further - if Aberdeen make the money-spinning group stages of European football.

The Dons will go into the play-off round for the Europa League but would be guaranteed group stage football if Celtic beat Inverness in the Scottish Cup final.

New UEFA regulations on squads this season means that each squad has to have eight homegrown players registered and at least four of them must be club-trained on their List A for club competition, as part of any 25 man squad.

Aberdeen currently have Ryan Duncan, Connor Barron, Jack MacKenzie and young Alfie Bavidge who have first-team experience and can be classed as club-grown.
