Football is very much in the Laird family.
Craig began his career working at Plymouth Argyle and has managed non-league clubs including Weston-super-Mare and Bridgwater Town.
Scott, one of four brothers, had a prolific career across the EFL, most notably with Preston, who he won promotion to the Championship with in 2015.
His brothers Callum and Jamie have played at non-league level, while another brother, also called Craig, has played at university level in the United States.
Craig Sr and Scott are early into their managerial tenure together – with one win, one draw and one loss from the past three league games – but they are working in “sync”.
“I’m sure we’ll have some disagreements,” Scott said. “At the moment, we do see the game the same way, we try to recruit the same players we believe in – we’re having to do it at the moment to bring a few players in.
“We’re very in sync with doing that, that’s been a good thing and I’m pretty sure that will continue. I’m sure we’re going to have bumps in the road but that’s a healthy thing.”
