Biography
Scott joined Hearts from Tynecastle Boys Club in 1986 and made his league debut against Clydebank in January 1987. Becoming a regular first team player, he was selected for the Scotland under-21 team and was voted the SPFA Young Player of the Year in 1990.
First linked with a move to Tannadice in the summer of 1991, he eventually joined United in September 1992, in an exchange deal that included Allan Preston plus a reported £215,000. Scott made HIS debut in October 1992 in a 1-0 win against Aberdeen at Pittodrie and was a regular in the line-up over the rest of that season. He featured regularly again in 1993-94, scoring the goal that took the UEFA Cup tie against Brondby at Tannadice into extra-time, and the opening goal of United’s 1994 Scottish Cup campaign in the 3rd Round match at Arbroath. He played in the next round against Motherwell, and it was in the replay at Fir Park that he sustained a broken leg that side-lined him for almost a year. Just as Scott was beginning to re-establish himself in the side, United were relegated from the Premier Division, and another injury effectively ended his career at United in September 1995. A year later, he made a comeback in the reserves, but to have a better chance of first team football, he moved to Falkirk in January 1997 for a nominal fee.
During his three years at Brockville he collected a Scottish Cup runners-up medal in 1997 before moving on to Livingston in July 2000. He helped the West Lothian side win promotion to the Premier League in 2001 and had spells on loan at Cowdenbeath and Raith Rovers before transferring to Ayr United in November 2001. He later played for Alloa Athletic, Albion Rovers, Raith Rovers and East Fife, where he ended his playing career in June 2007.

Debut - Aberdeen 0 - 1 Dundee United
What a difference a week can make. The depression following Rangers 4-0 win at Tannadice was partially lifted by the midweek signing of Scott Crabbe and what better place could we visit to complete the rehabilitation than Pittodrie, our favourite ground. Pre-match odds of 3-1 against a United victory looked generous , but as the match entered its final phase a draw seemed inevitable until Duncan Ferguson popped up with a last minute winner via the head of Aberdeen defender Gary Smith. Scott Crabbe made his United debut as the Tangerines got off to a good start as Snelders made saves from Billy McKinlay and John dark. John dark cleared a Mixu Paatelainen header off the line and early in the second half Jim Mclnally almost kept up his excellent scoring record against the Dons, but Snelders parried his net-bound shot.

First Goal - Dundee United 2 - 2 Aberdeen
Mark Perry made his first team debut against his home town club as Aberdeen came to Tannadice seeking to end a goal drought which they had endured for more than 450 minutes of New Firm derbies. They would have arrested that run after a mere 13 minutes had Alan Main not smartly diverted a Jess header round the post. Eight minutes later Jess and Booth combined again to finally nail that scoring bogey. Booth raced to the bye-tine and Eion Jess swept his cutback into the far corner. A Scott Crabbe volley which flew just wide was about the only first half threat we posed to the Dons and when they went further in front early in the second half, a long unbeaten run against them looked over.

Last Goal - Arbroath 2 - 3 Dundee United
The tie was delayed by some seven minutes to allow the near 6,000 crowd into Gayfield and right from the start, Arbroath facing wind and Premier opposition, found themselves up against it.

Last Appearance - Dundee United 3 - 0 Hamilton
United's much changed side which saw teenage winger Paul Walker start a first team match for the first time booked a comfortable passage to the quarter finals of the League Challenge Cup.
