Scott Findlay (born 16 October 1983) is a Scottish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Dundee and Livingston.

Club career

Findlay started his career in the youth academy of St Johnstone, joining the club when he was 14 years old.[1] He moved to Livingston in 2001. However he didn't make his first senior team appearance until 2002 during a loan spell at East Stirling. The Shire fell to a 4-1 defeat to East Fife on 10 August 2002.[2]

He signed for Cowdenbeath in 2004 on a short term deal but failed to make an appearance for the club.

The Perth born keeper had a short lived spell at Alloa under Alan Maitland. Findlay was 'badly at fault' as Alloa threw away a two goal lead during one of his rare appearances, against Ayr United in 2007. 'All the goals were saveable' a bewildered Maitland said post-match.[3]

The goalkeeper signed for Clyde in 2010 and made 2 appearances.[4]

Coaching career

Findlay is currently head goalkeeper coach at St Johnstone.[5]
