Early career / Dundee United . Born in Morvant , Trinidad and Tobago , after playing for Malick Senior Comprehensive School , Scotland went on to play with San Juan Jabloteh – for whom he scored nine goals in as many league games – and Defence Force , where he scored 30 goals in 31 league appearances . This goalscoring form earned him a trial with Scottish side Dundee United in May 2003 alongside fellow Trinidad player Devon Mitchell . After impressing the staff , Scotland joined compatriot Collin Samuel at Tannadice after gaining a work permit in July . After making his debut in August 2003 , Scotland featured mostly as a substitute in his first season and was wanted on loan by Northern Irish club Linfield in January 2004 , although no move materialised . In March , Scotland scored his first goal for United , netting in a 3–2 win at Livingston and four days later scored the only goal in a 1–0 home win against Motherwell . With three more goals that season , Scotland scored five league goals from 21 appearances , with the majority as substitute appearances , and was awarded a new contract . In Scotlands second season , it again took him several months to score , netting his first of the season in late December . In April , however , Scotland scored perhaps his most important goal of the season , netting the winner in the Scottish Cup semi-final to take United into the final . He went on to play the full 90 minutes of the showpiece match as United narrowly lost 1–0 to Celtic . St Johnstone . In July 2005 , Scotland was denied a new work permit and the club made an appeal , which was deemed unsuccessful by a Scottish Premier League appeals committee . Within three weeks , St Johnstone of the Scottish First Division were successful in gaining a work permit for the player – despite using the same dossier as United had presented previously . Scotland went on to net 15 goals in 31 league appearances in his first season at McDiarmid Park , including a goal on his debut and a hat-trick in April . He was named in Trinidad Tobagos 2006 FIFA World Cup squad . Scotlands second season produced 18 league goals , including a goal against former club Dundee United in a League Cup match ; despite his goal against his former club , he received a warm reception from the United fans . In February 2007 , Scotland was the subject of racist taunts by a small section of Motherwell fans during St Johnstones visit to Fir Park in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup . He went on to score Saints second goal in a 2–1 victory . In April 2007 , Scotland was one of three St Johnstone players named in the SPFAs Scottish Division One Team of the Year , voted for by the managers . At the end of the 2006–07 season , in his two campaigns with St Johnstone , Scotland had scored 33 goals in 66 league games for the club , an average of one every two games . Swansea City . In May 2007 , Scotland signed for Swansea City for a fee of £25,000 subject to obtaining a work permit , which was granted on 4 July . He scored on his debut and he helped the team to promotion to the Football League Championship , finishing the season with 29 goals in all competitions – the divisions top scorer – and also earning himself a place in the PFA Team of the Year . Scotland netted a 78th minute penalty kick against Plymouth Argyle on 10 March 2009 , his 50th goal for Swansea in all competitions Wigan Athletic . Scotland signed for Wigan on a three-year contract on 18 July , after receiving international and visa approval .

He made his Ipswich debut against Crewe in the League Cup and then scored his first goal for the club on his league debut against Bristol City on 28 August 2010 . In April 2012 , he was praised by manager Paul Jewell for turning down a clause in his contract which would have meant that he would have received a wage increase . He left Ipswich Town on 21 January 2013 , after agreeing a contract settlement . The move proved somewhat controversial among some fans of the club considering Scotland had developed into somewhat of a fan favourite as an impact substitute . It was also deemed a rash move from the club since fellow striker Nathan Ellington remained at the club with a goal total of zero . Barnsley . On 28 January 2013 it was announced that Scotland signed for Championship side Barnsley until the end of the season . His first appearance for Barnsley came as a substitute in a 2–0 victory against Millwall at Oakwell , where he scored the second goal , only a few minutes after coming on to the field of play .
