scored goals wherever he has been and whatever your personal opinion of him is you cant fault his effort and record. He will be a boost to our squad and hopefully Bowie can learn from him.

Mair clubs than Tiger Woods but hey ho!
As long as he contributes goals and passes on pearls of wisdom to the youngsters, he'll have done his bit for us.

Another good signing, don't get how anyone can't be happy about this.

Agree southstander.Some seem to be very fickle and its the older ones who really should know better

Good signing but,dependant on how fit he is or how long it takes him to get up to speed.A player who never gives defences any peace and can score goals as well

I'm happy with bringing Bairdie back. Granted he is getting on a bit but he is a goal scorer and will score when he plays. He done some coaching when he was a Forfar so he also brings that with him and will be good around the young lads.

With him and stevie Anderson coming into the squad, Vaughan back and dingwall not too far away, it brings some much needed competition for places. This can only be a good thing.

What has he been doing since Forfar, fitness / football wise?

I’m fine with us bolstering our numbers a bit, a fit Baird is an asset no doubts about it.

Good signing, especially with the injury to Bowie. Another option to come off the bench when we need a change when we've got a fit squad too

Thanks, that explains why it was in the paper two weeks ago but only just announced.
