Jack Baird

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

Jack Baird, born on 7 February 1997 (age 29), is a Scottish centre-back with St Johnstone, where he wears squad number 15. He is not a headline act, but he remains a regular first-team presence in 2025–26, which tends to matter more than the packaging.

His most productive league season came at Greenock Morton in 2022–23, when he scored seven goals in 35 appearances. That was a useful return for a defender and pointed to his value at set pieces as well as his basic defensive work.

At St Johnstone in 2025–26, Baird has made 26 Championship appearances and scored three league goals. His market value is around £64,000, according to Transfermarkt.

Baird’s career has been that of a steady Scottish centre-back: a regular at Morton, then a continuing part of the St Johnstone side. He is an established first-team player rather than a decorated name, and his relevance is rooted in regular football.
