Scott Cuthbert

Celtic

Born in Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire, Cuthbert was part of Celtic's youth academy from the age of 11, signing his first professional contract in August 2003 at the age of 16. He went on to captain the club's under-19 and reserve teams. In the 2007–08 season, Cuthbert was an unused substitute in an Old Firm derby as Celtic lost 3–0.

Loan spells

Cuthbert joined Scottish First Division club Livingston on a one-month loan in order to gain first-team experience during the 2006–07 season, making four appearances. He scored his first professional goal in a 3–1 defeat at home to Airdrie United. He was loaned out once again, this time on a season-long loan to Scottish Premier League club St Mirren in August 2008. He made his debut in a 0–0 draw with Kilmarnock on 16 August. Cuthbert made 34 appearances in all competitions before returning to Celtic. After leaving St Mirren, Cuthbert said a second loan spell was a possibility should he fail to secure a first-team place at Celtic.

Swindon Town

Despite interest from former loan club St Mirren, Cuthbert signed for League One club Swindon Town on 13 July 2009, on a two-year contract for a fee thought to be £100,000. Cuthbert made his debut for Swindon on the opening day of the 2009–10 season in a 5–0 defeat away to Gillingham. He was subsequently left out of the starting lineup for four matches until Swindon faced Wolverhampton Wanderers in the League Cup second round, which they lost 6–5 on…

Cuthbert was appointed as a first team coach at Stevenage in May 2024 following the appointment of Alex Revell as manager.

Cuthbert was captain of the Scotland under-19 team that reached the final of the UEFA under-19 Championships in 2006 and the Scotland under-20 team that played at 2007 under-20 World Cup in Canada. He also represented Scotland B in May 2009.

Cuthbert has been deployed at centre back throughout his career, although was used as a right back for two seasons at Leyton Orient. Cuthbert states that he is "more suited" to playing in the centre of defence and sees himself as a centre back, but also feels comfortable at right back. Manager John Still described Cuthbert as possessing "leadership qualities; he's a good talker and a good organiser".
