Sheffield United
In January 2014, Scougall joined English club Sheffield United, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal,[8] for an undisclosed fee.[9] Scougall made his debut for United in a FA Cup tie against Fulham on 26 January, coming on as a half time substitute.[10] Scougall's first goal in United colours came on 8 February 2014 against Shrewsbury Town at Bramall Lane.[11] Scougall was part of the Sheffield United team that reached the FA Cup semi final, Scougall scored Sheffield United's second goal in a 5–3 defeat at the hands of Hull City.

On 8 October 2012, Scougall was named in the Scotland under-21 squad for two friendly matches against the USA and Canada,[16] and duly made his debut on 12 October 2012 against the USA.[17] Scougall was once again named in the Scotland under-21 squad to face Greece in February 2013 but withdrew from the squad due to injury.[18] Scougall's impressive form at Sheffield United earned him a recall to the Under-21s for a 2015 Under-21 Euro Qualifying match against the Netherlands on 28 May 2014,[19] where he went on to make his second appearance for the under-21s as 75th-minute substitute in a 6–1 defeat.[20]
