Scott met with success at Leighton. They were eleven points from safety at the bottom of the Southern League Division One Midlands when he was appointed, but he led them to safety and also to victory in the Buckingham Senior Charity Cup Final in May 2007. In the 2007–08 season, he steered the club to their most successful campaign in the FA Cup, reaching the Fourth Qualifying Round where they were defeated by Havant & Waterlooville. In December 2007, Scott resigned his post to take up the managerial reins at Windsor & Eton.

Scott left Windsor & Eton FC the season before their demise having led them to the League title in Step 3 of the non-league pyramid and winning the Berks and Bucks cup. Eventually, the club was liquidated following an un-paid tax bill from their Chairman.
