Robert Scott (born 2 October 1870, date of death unknown) was a professional footballer who played for Scotland against Ireland in the 1893–94 British Home Championship.[2] Scott was born in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire.[1]
Scott played for Airdrieonians for around ten years from 1888.[1][3] During his time at the club, the "Diamonds" joined Division Two of the Scottish League in 1894.[4] Scott also had a one-match loan to Celtic on 29 April 1893. Scott was appearing in place of Mick Mulvey, and helped Celtic secure a 3–0 victory over Rangers, which ultimately led Celtic to win their first league title.[5] He suffered a broken leg just before the turn of the century which effectively ended his playing career.[1]
Scott made one appearance for Scotland, a 2–1 victory over Ireland on 31 March 1894, during the 1893–94 British Home Championship.[2]
Scott was noted for his "fierce low shots".[1]
Scott's brother, Matthew Scott, also played for Airdrieonians and played for Scotland in 1898.[6]
