[edit] Club career
Scott played for Scotland, Dundee and Aberdeen. He memorably scored a hat-trick when Aberdeen beat Rangers 5–1 in a Scottish League Cup semi final. He was capped twice for the Scotland national team in 1971.
[edit] Managerial career
Since retiring as a player, he has managed Aberdeen, Dundee, Arbroath, Dunfermline Athletic, Hibernian (as a caretaker), Notts County and Raith Rovers. He was reserve team manager at Sunderland before joining Plymouth Argyle as first team coach under Bobby Williamson in 2004. When Williamson was sacked, Scott took over as caretaker manager for four games. He was the oldest manager in the Scottish Football League.
Scott was the 'fore-runner' for a third stint at the vacant Dundee job in October 2008[1] and he was given the job at the end of the month.[2] After wins over Queen of the South, Dunfermline Athletic and draws with St. Johnstone and Airdrie, Scott was awarded the Manager of the Month award for November[3] and, following another successful month, won it again in February.[4]
On 3 April 2009, Jocky was inducted into Dundee's Hall of Fame.[5] As a result of Dundee winning the 2009 Scottish Challenge Cup Final, Scott became the first manager in Scottish Football to win all three domestic cup competitions (Scottish Cup, League Cup and Challenge Cup).[6] Despite this achievement and leading Dundee to the top of the First Division, Scott was sacked in March 2010 after the club went four games without a victory.[7]
On 19 January 2011, Scott was appointed as manager of Stirling Albion.[8] Despite the club being relegated from the First Division, Scott continued as manager.[9] Scott left the club in December 2011, which was bottom of the Second Division.[10]
