Head of Youth at Dunfermline, Stephen Wright said:-
"Again this is excellent news for one of our young players and everyone involved within the Youth Department. Scott has performed brilliantly this season and has scored a lot of goals along the way. This is a great reward for Scott as he will get the chance to test himself with and against top English opposition, an experience he will surely enjoy".

Scott, a striker, was one of five of the U14 Dunfermline Athletic squad who got through the first round of trials and were then invited to the National trials at Airdrie's Excelsior Stadium for the selection process towards next season's Victory Shield. They will wait to see who gets picked, however it is good for the Club and the youth system..
