Livingston

After playing youth football for Hibernian and Dunfermline Athletic, Scougall made his senior debut for Livingston on 16 October 2010 as a substitute in a 4–1 win against Stenhousemuir in the Scottish Second Division,[2] making two further appearances that season as Livingston sealed the Second Division title.[3] Scougall became a regular for the West Lothian side the following season in the First Division,[4] and was rewarded with a new long-term contract in September 2012, designed to keep him at Almondvale until the summer of 2016.[5] Scougall's performances for Livingston saw him attract the attention of scouts from Arsenal and Swansea City,[6] and in April 2013, Scougall was one of four players to be nominated for the Scottish First Division Player's Player of the Year award for the 2012–13 season.[7]

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.

International career

On 8 October 2012, Scougall was named in the Scotland under-21 squad for two friendly matches against the USA and Canada,[12] and duly made his debut on 12 October 2012 against the USA.[13] 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.[14] 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,[15] where he went on to make his second appearance for the under-21s as 75th-minute substitute in a 6–1 defeat.[16]

Personal life

Born in Edinburgh, Scougall is the younger brother of former Dunfermline Athletic and East Fife player Alex Scougall.[17] Growing up as a fan of Rangers, Scougall almost quit football when he was released by Hibernian.[17] He worked part-time on the checkout at Sainsbury's and considered applying for a job alongside his father in the roads department at Edinburgh council.[17]
