James Scott

By the end of January, Scott had scored six goals in 28 appearances for Motherwell during the 2019–20 season. Motherwell accepted an offer from Hull City for Scott on 31 January 2020.

Scott signed a 3.5 year contract with Hull City on 31 January 2020, with the club also having the option of extending the contract by one year. During his first training session with Hull, Scott suffered an ankle injury that is expected to prevent him from playing for the rest of the 2019–20 season.

On 15 February 2019, he signed a new contract, keeping him at Motherwell until 2022. He started his first game on 24 February, in a 4–1 defeat against Celtic. During that match Scott failed to return the ball to the opposition after an injured player had received treatment, and instead took a shot that led to Motherwell's goal. On 27 April 2019, Scott scored his first senior goal in Motherwell's 4–3 win at home to Dundee.

In August 2019, Scott was called into the Scotland under-21 squad, for the European under-21 Championship qualifiers against San Marino and Croatia, and he went on to make his debut as a substitute against San Marino.

Scott made his senior debut for Motherwell on 21 April 2018, as a late substitute away to Ross County in the Scottish Premiership. He had already played for the club's under-20 team in the Scottish Challenge Cup, making his first appearances aged 15.
