Jack Baird

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

Jack Baird, born on 7 February 1997 (age 29), is a Scottish central defender with Raith Rovers, where he wears the No 6 shirt. He is valued at around £64,000 by Transfermarkt.

Baird’s most productive league campaign came at Greenock Morton in 2022–23, when he scored seven goals in 35 appearances. For a centre-half, that is a useful return rather than background noise, and it gives a fair indication of his threat at set-pieces as well as his regular place in the side.

In 2026–27, he made one league appearance for St Johnstone before moving on to Raith Rovers, where he added 10 league appearances. His career has been that of a dependable Scottish defender moving through solid domestic clubs, with Morton providing the clearest statistical high point so far.
