Alexander "Sandy" Clark (born 28 October 1956, in Airdrie) is a former professional football player and is now currently a coach as well as doing regular punditry work for BBC Scotland. He was a centre forward.

He played for several clubs in his playing career including Rangers, Hearts, home town Airdrieonians and West Ham United. His longest and most successful spells were those at Tynecastle and Broomfield . He has also managed several clubs, including Partick Thistle, Hamilton Academical, Hearts (twice, once as caretaker), St. Johnstone and Berwick Rangers. In 1982, Clark won the Scottish PFA Players' Player of the Year award.

His work with BBC Scotland previously included TV Commentry, where he was the regular summariser to main commentator Rob MacLean (Now with Setanta Sports) on SPL matches and they formed a formidable double act where Clark would usually always agree with MacLean and utter the words 'You're right Rob!'

He is currently striker coach at Aberdeen where he has been since 2004.
