Jack Baird joins Morton

[DougJamie 6,522]

I would wish Jack a very successful loan period- however it is Ton so a bit Torn …………...

[delpierro 613]

Championship player. Found his level.
Good luck, son.

Morton have conceded 12 goals in 4 league games, it'll be interesting if Baird can help them reduce that disastrous number.

I think he will and build his confidence in the process.

A short term loan to Morton didnt do Jason Naismith any harm. I would accept though that Jack is more established as a first team player than Jason was back then. I think Jack will do great and will have the right attitude. Better to be playing competitive football and no harm in playing under a different manager. I will feel happier when Kirk actually signs though.

FFS, can you imagine the meltdown if he didn't?

Frankly, no. 

But, I have the feeling that, it would be wonderful to behold

I’ve said it before but I don’t understand the boo boys agenda against Baird. Always gives 100% even in some of the dreadful teams he was lumbered with. Hope you’re back soon Jack

[gstretchuk 727]

Would rather have Baird than Clubfoot anyday...

[Gordon Urquhart 1,551]

I also like Baird but he does think he is Maldini or Baresi and can ping 60 yard passes. He can't.

Well that's confirmed Kirk as a great signing then

Popescu can't pass 20 yards. 🙈

[TPAFKATS 7,641]

Popescu can't pass 20 yards. 

Now, now. Popescu isn't one of our own so no booing him.

Cant help feeling it should be S McGinn on this move. We are paper thin and vulnerable in central defence unless an out of contract comes in?

Kirk Broadfoot, for instance?

Who knows?

Morton were on the verge of announcing him as a signing last night, no news since then... pehaps Kirk is wating for Killie to pay up his contract before he can go somewhere else.

What like the one that led to our goal (Mullen) in the play-offs against Utd !!!

[Balmullo Bud 1,344]

Bit out of the blue this one. Jack is a great competitor and wears his heart on his sleeve. Great attitude and ball winner, but falls a wee bit short with the ball at his feet. Hope he grows in confidence at Morton and gets the chance to develop his distribution. Wish him the best of luck and hope to see him back.

brilliant

Looks like Goodwin is "putting his mark on the team"

Baird sent to Greenock, and McGinn sat in the stand.

Oddly enough, similar to what Alex Rae did to freeze Goodwin out when he took over.

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see Baird playing for us again.

Agreed , he’s a steady championship player , but as far as the Premiership is concerned , I think that ship has sailed .

Tend to agree. Decent lad, and wish him well, but realistically I can’t see him going to a club bigger than us.

Let’s face it, Baird is pish, never good enough for The SPL, Morton is his level, best of luck Jack.

The SPL ceased to exist over a year before his debut for Saints.

Sadly agree also. Been a servant to the club for a good few years but SP is a step too far for him. The cruel nature is he was often shown out of his depth in the a championship as well. 

Who knows though, still relatively young & might continue to develop in the championship but I don’t see it.

Was it not Baird and Popescu in defence during our last 10 games or so last season when we only lost 1 game???
