Scott made his first start for the club versus Chelsea on the final day of the 1992–93 season and had a dream afternoon , playing the full 90 minutes and opening the scoring after seven minutes of the eventual 4–1 victory . He played a bit-part role during the 1993–94 season , at the end of which the Blades were relegated to the First Division . Scott became a regular in the team during the 1994–95 season , making 40 appearances , but after the departure of manager Dave Bassett in 1995 , he fell out of favour with successive managers Howard Kendall and Nigel Spackman and departed the club on 21 December 1997 .

Despite scoring on his debut with a late equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Oldham Athletic , Scott had a difficult start to life at Griffin Park and failed to live up to expectations , scoring just five goals in 27 appearances during the remainder of the 1996-97 season , at the end of which the Bees were relegated to the Third Division . Scott was played on the left wing by new manager Ron Noades during 1998–99 , but despite suffering a serious leg injury in November 1998 , he had the best season of his career so far , scoring 11 goals in 40 appearances and winning the Third Division championship . Scott was again a regular back in the Second Division during the 1999–00 season , making 42 appearances and proving his versatility by filling in at left back and in central midfield during the campaign . Scott began the 2000–01 season in his regular left wing role , but deputised up front for the injured Lloyd Owusu and enjoyed the best goalscoring form of his career , with 13 goals in a 21-match spell between late August 2000 and early January 2001 .

Seven wins and two draws from a 9-match spell between late December 2007 and mid-February 2008 raised the Bees to 11th position , but hopes of a playoff finish were thwarted by a run of just four wins from the final 15 matches of the season . Scott signed a new five-year contract during the 2008 off-season and an overhaul of the squad and the shrewd loan signings of goalkeeper Ben Hamer , centre back Alan Bennett and forwards Jordan Rhodes and Billy Clarke contributed to Brentford winning the 2008–09 League Two championship in Scotts first full season in management . During the season he was named the 2008 BBC Radio London Manager of the Year and won the April 2009 League Two Manager of the Month award . The title win made Scott the first person to win a league championship as both a player and manager of Brentford .

Scotts Brentford had a torrid start to the 2010–11 season and sat bottom of the table after just two wins from the opening 11 matches .

On 22 February 2013 , Scott took over as manager of League Two club Aldershot Town on a deal until the end of the 2012–13 season .
