Crawford Baptie (born 24 February 1959) is a Scottish former footballer.
During his playing career, Baptie played junior football for Baillieston Juniors, before moving onto the professional game with Falkirk (where he won the Scottish First Division title), Motherwell, Hamilton Academical, Clyde and Stenhousemuir.[1][2] He was infamously punched by Mick McCarthy during a match in 1988.[3]
Despite joining professional football, Baptie chose to stay part-time by continuing working as a manager at Arnold Clark.[4] After retiring as a player, he left his twenty-year career at Arnold Clark and became General Manager of Falkirk for a number of years.[5][6]
