Fraser Aird (born 2 February 1995) is a Canadian professional footballer who currently plays for Scottish Championship club Falkirk and the Canada national team.
Aird is a boyhood fan of his former club Rangers due to his Scottish, Rangers-supporting parents emigrating to Canada in 1987.
Aird signed as a youth for Rangers at the age of sixteen. Within a year at the club he worked his way from the under-17 squad to the under-19 squad, eventually making his first team debut during a 4–1 victory over Montrose in the Scottish Third Division on 23 September 2012. Aird was incorrectly listed as the goalkeeper by many media sources during a match against Elgin City in December 2012 when it was actually Neil Alexander. He scored his first goal for the club against Queens Park at Hampden Park on 29 December 2012.
In his first competitive match of the 2013–14 season he scored the first goal for Rangers as a half-time substitute against Forfar Athletic in the League Cup, Rangers went on to lose 2–1. On 3 May 2014, after a 1–1 draw with Dunfermline Athletic, Aird was among the Rangers players who made history by becoming the first Rangers side in 115 years to go an entire league season unbeaten, during which they clinched the Scottish League One championship.
Aird joined Major League Soccer club Vancouver Whitecaps FC on a season-long loan on 29 January 2016. He made his debut against Montreal Impact on 7 March 2016.
