Connor Clark Barron (born 29 August 2002) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Scottish Premiership side Rangers and the Scotland national team.[4]
He began his career at Aberdeen, and during his time there had spells on loan with Brechin City and Kelty Hearts before joining Rangers in 2024.
Barron started playing football with Kintore United, before joining Aberdeen's youth academy at the age of eight; he went on to play for all of the age groups before signing his first professional contract and being promoted to the first team squad.[citation needed]
On 22 January 2022, Barron made his senior debut for Aberdeen, coming on as a half-time substitute in a 3–0 Scottish Cup victory against Edinburgh City.[5] Two weeks earlier, he had signed a contract committing him to the Dons until 2024.[6]
Barron left the club at the end of the 2023–24 season, upon the expiration of his contract.[7]
On 20 June 2024, it was announced that Barron would join fellow Scottish Premiership side Rangers for a fee to be decided by tribunal,[8] signing a four-year contract.[9][10]
Barron has represented Scotland at under-16,[11] under-17 and under-21 levels.
In September 2024 he was called up to the full squad for games against Poland and Portugal, but was an unused substitute in both matches.[12] He was called up again the following month as well.[13] Barron made his international debut on 9 June 2025, as Scotland beat Liechtenstein 4-0, replacing Billy Gilmour in the 78th minute.[14]
