Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

K. Baccus is a 28-year-old central midfielder at ST Mirren, rated 28.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 164th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.01 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Baccus.

Judged on this season alone, Baccus graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 21 of the 21 central midfielders in the Premiership, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.012 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 13). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 13th of 21 of the 21 central midfielders in the Premiership. At 28 Baccus is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.7, Baccus carries the 13th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premiership of 21, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (ST Mirren finished 10th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
