Scotland was named in Trinidad Tobago's 2006 World Cup squad. Scotland's second season produced 18 league goals, including a goal against former club Dundee United in a League Cup match. Despite his goal against his former club, he received a warm reception from the United fans.[9] In February 2007, Scotland was the subject of racist taunts by a small section of Motherwell fans during St Johnstone's visit to Fir Park in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup. He went on to score Saints' second goal in a 2-1 victory.[10] In April 2007, Scotland was one of three St. Johnstone players named in the SPFA's Scottish Division One 'Team of the Year', voted for by the managers.[11] At the end of the 2006-07 season, in his two seasons with St Johnstone, Scotland had scored 33 goals in 66 league games for the club, an average of one goal every two games.
