'''Jason Kelvin Scotland''' [[Chaconia Medal|CM]] (born 18 February 1979) is a Trinidadian former professional [[association football|footballer]] and current [[Coach (sport)|coach]] of [[Larkhall Thistle F.C.|Larkhall Thistle]] who last played for Scottish team [[Hamilton Academical F.C.|Hamilton Academical]].

Scotland started his footballing career in his native Trinidad and Tobago before moving to play professionally for Scottish club [[Dundee United F.C.|Dundee United]]. He has also had spells with [[St Johnstone F.C.|St Johnstone]], [[Swansea City F.C.|Swansea City]], [[Wigan Athletic F.C.|Wigan Athletic]], [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]], [[Barnsley F.C.|Barnsley]] and Hamilton Academical.<ref>[http://www.wired868.com/2012/09/05/the-remarkable-jason-scotland/ Jason Scotland discusses his evolution from Trinidad and Tobago electrical trainee to Premier League footballer (Part One)] Wired868.com</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wired868.com/2012/09/11/toasting-scotland-the-brave/Jason|title=Jason Holder's West Indies plan; Best comments on new regional captain - Wired868|website=www.wired868.com|date=19 September 2015}}</ref> He made 41 international appearances and scored 8 goals for [[Trinidad and Tobago national football team|Trinidad and Tobago]] between 2000 and 2012, playing at the [[2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup]] and the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]].

==Club career==
===Early career and 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 F.C.|Defence Force]], where he scored 30 goals in 31 league appearances. This goalscoring form earned him a trial with Scottish side [[Dundee United F.C.|Dundee United]] in May 2003 alongside fellow Trinidad player Devon Mitchell.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/dundee_utd/3010811.stm|title=Rocket jets in to Tannadice|date=8 May 2003|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=14 November 2008}}</ref>

After impressing the staff, Scotland joined compatriot [[Collin Samuel]] at [[Tannadice Park|Tannadice]] after gaining a [[Work permit (United Kingdom)|work permit]] in July.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/dundee_utd/3070865.stm|title=Scotland gets signing all-clear|date=16 July 2003|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=14 November 2008}}</ref> After making his debut in August 2003, Scotland featured mostly as a [[substitute (association football)|substitute]] in his first season and was wanted on loan by [[Northern Ireland|Northern Irish]] club [[Linfield F.C.|Linfield]] in January 2004,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/irish/3421451.stm|title=Blues move for new striker|date=22 January 2004|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=14 November 2008}}</ref> although no move materialised. In March, Scotland scored his first goal for United, netting in a 3–2 win at [[Livingston F.C.|Livingston]] and four days later scored the only goal in a 1–0 home win against [[Motherwell F.C.|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.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/dundee_utd/3584452.stm|title=Scotland signs new Tannadice deal|date=20 August 2004|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=14 November 2008}}</ref>

In Scotland's 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 2004-05#Semi-finals|Scottish Cup semi-final]] to take United into [[2005 Scottish Cup Final|the final]]. He went on to play the full 90 minutes of the showpiece match as United narrowly lost 1–0 to [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]].

===St Johnstone===
In July 2005, Scotland was denied a new work permit and the club made an appeal,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/dundee_utd/4635199.stm|title=United expect Scotland decision|date=19 July 2005|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=14 November 2008}}</ref> which was deemed unsuccessful by a Scottish Premier League appeals committee.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/dundee_utd/4740135.stm|title=Agent hits out at British justice|date=2 August 2005|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=14 November 2008}}</ref> Within three weeks, [[St Johnstone F.C.|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.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/st_johnstone/4162496.stm|title=United fury at Scotland decision|date=23 August 2005|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=14 November 2008}}</ref> 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 Tobago's [[2006 FIFA World Cup]] squad. Scotland's second season produced 18 league goals, including a goal against former club Dundee United in a [[Scottish League Cup|League Cup]] match; despite his goal against his former club, he received a warm reception from the United fans.<ref name="fans">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/st_johnstone/5362852.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|title='Villain' Scotland hails Utd fans|date=20 September 2006}}</ref> In February 2007, Scotland was the subject of racist taunts by a small section of [[Motherwell F.C.|Motherwell]] fans during St Johnstone's visit to [[Fir Park]] in the quarter-finals of the [[Scottish Cup]].

===Swansea City===
In May 2007, Scotland signed for [[Swansea City A.F.C.|Swansea City]] for a fee of £25,000 subject to obtaining a work permit,<ref name="swans">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/6674397.stm|title=Swans sign Scotland from Saints|publisher=BBC Sport|date=25 May 2007}}</ref> which was granted on 4 July.<ref name="permit">{{cite news|url=http://www.thecourier.co.uk/output/2007/07/05/sportstory9952444t0.asp |publisher=[[The Courier (Dundee)|The Courier]] |title=Scotland makes move to Wales |author=Nicolson, Eric |date=5 July 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070709060119/http://www.thecourier.co.uk/output/2007/07/05/sportstory9952444t0.asp |archive-date= 9 July 2007 }}</ref> 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 division's top scorer – and also earning himself a place in the [[PFA Team of the Year]].

Scotland netted a 78th minute [[Penalty kick (association football)|penalty kick]] against [[Plymouth Argyle F.C.|Plymouth Argyle]] on 10 March 2009, his 50th goal for Swansea in all competitions<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.swanseacity.net/page/MatchReport/0,,10354~44869,00.html|title=Homepage - Official Website of the Swans - Swansea City AFC latest news, photos and videos|website=www.swanseacity.net}}</ref>

===Wigan Athletic===
Scotland signed for Wigan on a three-year contract on 18 July, after receiving international and [[Visa (document)|visa]] approval.<ref name="Scotland completes Wigan transfer">{{cite news| title = Scotland completes Wigan transfer|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wigan_athletic/8136609.stm| publisher=BBC Sport| date = 18 July 2009
| access-date = 16 August 2009}}</ref> He made his debut as a [[Association football#Duration and tie-breaking methods|stoppage time]] substitute in a 2–0 victory over [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] on 15 August. He scored his first goal for Wigan in the FA Cup against Notts County on 23 January 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/8474371.stm
|title=Notts County 2 – 2 Wigan |publisher=BBC |date=23 January 2010 |access-date=24 January 2010}}</ref> He scored his first league goal for the club on his 29th league appearance against Fulham on 4 April 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8599455.stm |title=Fulham 2 – 1 Wigan |publisher=BBC |date=4 April 2010 |access-date=4 April 2010}}</ref> He was allowed to leave in June 2010.

===Ipswich Town===
Scotland signed for [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]] on 23 August 2010, initially on a two-year deal for a fee of £500,000. He made his Ipswich debut against [[Crewe Alexandra F.C.|Crewe]] in the [[Football League Cup|League Cup]] and then scored his first goal for the club on his league debut against [[Bristol City F.C.|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.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17599809 |title=Jason Scotland waives Ipswich Town contract clause |work=BBC Sport |publisher=BBC |date=3 April 2012 |access-date=14 January 2014}}</ref>

He left Ipswich Town on 21 January 2013, after agreeing a contract settlement.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/ipswich-town/jason_scotland_agrees_contract_settlement_with_ipswich_town_1_1800370 |title=Jason Scotland agrees contract settlement with Ipswich Town|date=21 January 2013|publisher=EADT Suffolk Magazine|access-date=21 January 2013}}</ref> The move proved somewhat controversial among some fans of the club considering Scotland had developed into somewhat of a fan favourite as an [[Substitute (association football)#Super-sub|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.{{citation needed|date=August 2018}}

===Barnsley===
On 28 January 2013 it was announced that Scotland signed for Championship side Barnsley until the end of the season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/news/article/reds-snap-up-scotland-624341.aspx |title=Reds Snap Up Scotland|publisher=Barnsley FC|access-date=28 January 2013}}</ref> His first appearance for Barnsley came as a substitute in a 2–0 victory against [[Millwall F.C|Millwall]] at [[Oakwell]], where he scored the second goal, only a few minutes after coming on to the field of play.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21137516 |title=Barnsley 2–0 Millwall|publisher=BBC|access-date=30 January 2013}}</ref>

On 4 May 2013, he scored Barnsley's second goal in a 2–2 draw away against [[Huddersfield Town]], heading home a [[David Perkins (footballer)|David Perkins]] cross, helping Barnsley to a point which ultimately secured the Reds' place in the Championship for another season.
