Scott Booth

Aberdeen

Born in Aberdeen, Booth started his career at his hometown club Aberdeen, making his debut in 1990 aged 18 and emerging into the team alongside fellow youth graduate Eoin Jess. Booth was part of the Aberdeen side that came close to winning the League title on the final day of the Scottish Premier League in the 1990–91 season, and achieved further league runners-up finishes in 1993 and 1994, plus losing finals in the 1992–93 League Cup and Scottish Cup. He played in every game of the club's Scottish League Cup campaign in 1995 until an injury ruled him out of the final, in which Aberdeen defeated Dundee 2–0.

Germany, Netherlands and return

In summer 1997, Booth left Pittodrie for a surprise move to Borussia Dortmund in Germany under the Bosman ruling. The success of fellow Scot Paul Lambert was perhaps one of the reasons behind the move; nevertheless, he never really got an extended run with the then-European champions after the coach who brought him in – Ottmar Hitzfeld – moved to another role at the club, although he got a brief taste of Champions League football alongside the likes of Andreas Möller and Matthias Sammer, scoring against Sparta Prague. He is also notable for being the first Scot to win the Intercontinental Cup (albeit as an unused substitute in the match against Cruzeiro). Booth moved on loan to Dutch club FC Utrecht in 1998, seeking more playing time to secure his place in the Scotland squad for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. A year…

Booth won 22 caps for Scotland, scoring six goals, and was a member of Scotland's Euro 1996 and 1998 World Cup squads. He had previously played for the Under-21 team, and set a goalscoring record for the team.

Having gained a UEFA Pro Licence, Booth was appointed by the Scottish Football Association as Scotland under-15 and under-16 assistant manager in December 2011, working under Mark Wotte.

He was appointed manager of Scottish League One club Stenhousemuir in February 2014. On 1 February 2015 he was relieved of his duties with the club sitting just above the relegation positions in League One.

Glasgow City

Booth was appointed head coach of Scottish Women's Premier League club Glasgow City in July 2015, taking over from Eddie Wolecki Black. The club won the (summer seasonal) League Championship in 2015, 2016 and 2017 — taking their run of consecutive titles to 11 — and also lifted the Scottish Women's Cup in November 2015 to clinch a fourth treble in a row, although defeats to main challengers Hibernian in the two cup finals of both 2016 and 2017 brought the treble sequences to an end. Glasgow City won the SWPL again in 2018, but they did not win either domestic cup and were heavily beaten by FC Barcelona Femení in the Champions League; media observers suggested Booth may have reached the limit of what he could achieve at the club, with little hope of making an impact in Europe given the superior resources of the fully professional clubs from the leading nations, and any interruption to dominance in Scotland being viewed as failure. In the 2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League Booth led Glasgow City to the quarter-final, their joint-best finish in Europe, before they…
