Rashid Sarwar (born 3 March 1965) is a Scottish former footballer who played for Kilmarnock. He is of Pakistani descent. Although his career at senior level was short and unremarkable, he is notable as one of very few Asian-Scots to have been involved in professional football even to that extent.[1][2][3]
