Scott Fox (born 28 June 1987) is a Scottish professional goalkeeper currently playing for Ross County in the Scottish Premiership. He has previously played for Celtic, East Fife, Queen of the South, Dundee and Partick Thistle. Fox was selected by Scotland National Football Team manager Gordon Strachan to be part of the national squad to face Norway in 2013, after Strachan watched Fox's excellent performances. He joined fellow Premiership side Ross County when his contract with Thistle expired in May 2015.
Fox began his career at Celtic, however he never made an appearance for the club. During his time at Celtic he was part of the side that won the double of under-19 league and Scottish Youth Cup in 2005 and 2006. On 20 August 2007, he signed for Third Division club East Fife on loan. While he was at East Fife, he won the Scottish Football League Young Player of the Month award for November 2007. On 15 January 2008, he agreed to move to Ayr United on loan for the rest of the season, however Celtic cancelled the loan and the transfer never took place.
With his contract at Celtic having expired in Summer 2009, Fox went on trial at Exeter City and Lincoln City. However, due to Celtic being entitled to a development fee and still holding his registration as he was under 23, there was no contract offer. Fox eventually took his case to FIFA although he ultimately lost and spent six months without playing.
