Bio Extra

Part of the Thistle youth set up for a number of years, Scott was given his opportunity in the Thistle first team towards the end of 98/99 season. Scored against East Fife and impressed the Thistle fans but was surprisingly given a free transfer at the end of the season, and then promptly disappeared without a trace!
