Stuart Ross Malcolm (born 20 August 1979) is a Scottish former footballer who played as a defender. Malcolm is currently assistant manager to Brian Kerr at Albion Rovers.
Born in Edinburgh, Malcolm has previously played for St Johnstone, Cowdenbeath, Plymouth Argyle, Ross County, Drogheda United, Dublin City, Alloa Athletic, Montrose, Shelbourne, Finn Harps, Forfar Athletic, Arbroath and Stenhousemuir.
Malcolm's career started in 1998 when he signed a professional contract with St Johnstone. He was sent on loan to struggling Third Division side Cowdenbeath to gain experience, where he managed to stave off the possibility of finishing bottom of the Scottish league thanks to a win in the final game of the season against fellow strugglers Montrose. When Malcolm finished his spell at St. Johnstone, he moved south of the border to Plymouth Argyle, where he played extensively in the reserves, although he was unable to make inroads in the first team.
At the beginning of the 2003–04 season, Malcolm signed for Ross County, and he played the first game of his season for the team in the Scottish League Challenge Cup quarterfinal defeat to Inverness. Malcolm helped Ross County consolidate their position in the league during the 2003–04 season, though towards the end of the year he played much less frequently. This stemmed indirectly from a spate of yellow and red cards. He was first sent off for causing injury to Laurie Ellis, and this was followed by a second for a challenge on Ian Harty. Between February and May, Malcolm played just five games for the side. He was then dropped from the team after Christmas 2004.
