Scott was born, in Edinburgh, on 8th November 1966. He began his career as a youth player with Hutcheson Vale in 1984. His performances in goal led to Dundee United signing him up later that year. He spent seven years at Tannadice with only a handful of games. In the summer of 1991, Scott moved to Forfar Athletic to get first team football.

The Loons had quite a good team and he was a regular, running up around 100 appearances. In 1993, Raith Rovers signed him and again he made
over 100 appearances He kept goal as Rovers won the First Division and, famously, the League Cup. He made the decisive penalty save from Paul McStay and the win brought European Football to Starks Park with Bayern Munich their opponents.

After four years in Kirkcaldy, Hull City snapped him up, but he did not establish himself and went out on loan to Motherwell. At the end of the season he came back to Scotland to sign for Airdrie, where he remained for two seasons.

In 2000, Scott Yuill Thomson signed for The Pars, but in his five years at East End Park he featured only as a reliable reserve. He notched up 15 first team appearances over the next two seasons when Marco Ruitenbeek was indisposed or in cup competitions.

He was still registered as a player as he moved into coaching still with Dunfermline, finishing his playing career in 2005. As a goalkeeping coach he flourished and enjoyed spells at Dundee United, Hibernian and Ross County before retiring in 2026.
