Jack Baird

Jack Baird of Raith Rovers was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 7 February 1997 (age 29).

Jack Baird is a Scottish central defender, born on 7 February 1997 (age 29), who has built his career in the Scottish game without much need for fuss. He is primarily a centre-back for Raith Rovers, wearing squad number 6.

His strongest league return came with Greenock Morton in 2022-23, when he scored seven goals in 35 appearances. For a defender, that is a useful contribution rather than a decorative footnote.

Baird’s career has been that of a solid Scottish centre-half, with Morton providing his most productive season and Raith Rovers his latest first-team setting.
