Scott Stewart

Scott Alexander Stewart (born 29 April 1996) is a Scottish footballer who plays for club Arbroath as a full-back or midfielder. He began his career at Airdrieonians.

Career Airdrieonians Stewart was born in Edinburgh but raised in Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire where he attended Stonelaw High School. He initially began his career as a midfielder but retrained as a full-back, which he stated drew more scrutiny on his performances from his father, who had played the same position. After three seasons as a squad member, he became a regular starter for the Diamonds in the 2016–17 campaign, going on to make over 100 appearances over the next three years, including a promotion playoff semi-final defeat to Alloa Athletic on penalties in 2017 (the closest Airdrie came to either being promoted or relegated in his time with the club) and a Scottish Cup visit to holders Celtic in 2019.

He was voted the Airdrieonians 'Young Player of the Year' for 2016–17 having been named team captain in the latter part of that season and agreed a new contract to stay at the club.

Arbroath In June 2019, Stewart transferred to Arbroath, newly promoted to the Scottish Championship. He made his debut for the club on 23 July 2019, in a 3–0 defeat away to Hibernian in the group stage of the 2019–20 Scottish League Cup. He was an important member of the Red Lichties team in their bid for promotion to the Scottish Premiership in the 2021–22 season, while also working as a P.E. teacher at Rutherglen's Trinity High School. The club narrowly avoided relegation in 2022–23 but finished bottom of the division in 2023–24. They bounced back immediately as winners of 2024–25 Scottish League One, with Stewart named in the Team of the Season.
