Scott Pittman (born 9 July 1992) is a Scottish footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Scottish Premiership club Livingston.
Background
[edit | edit source]He is a son of Steve Pittman, who played for Dundee, East Fife and Partick Thistle as a full back, and also represented the United States at international level.[1]
Career
[edit | edit source]Pittman began his career at Hamilton Academical and on 25 March 2011, he signed on loan for Alloa Athletic.[2] He was first called up for a matchday squad on 26 March 2011, remaining an unused substitute for their goalless home draw with Peterhead in the Scottish Second Division.[3] Three days later, he made his only appearance for the club, as a last-minute substitute for Jim Lister in a 3–2 defeat at Brechin City.[4]
On 11 August 2011, having been released by Hamilton,[5] Pittman signed for junior club Broxburn Athletic, managed by his father.[1] He later continued his junior career with Bo'ness United joining the club in June 2014.[6]
On 3 February 2015, after three other Scottish Professional Football League teams had made offers, he joined Scottish Championship club Livingston.[7] Four days after his acquisition, he made his debut in a 3–2 home defeat to Heart of Midlothian, playing the final four minutes in place of Ibra Sekajja.[8] On 5 April, Pittman played the full 90 minutes of the 2015 Scottish Challenge Cup Final at McDiarmid Park in Perth, scoring the first goal of a 4–0 win over his former team Alloa.[9] On 24 October 2015, he scored the first league goal of his career, equalising in a 4–1 win at Queen of the South.[10]
On 7 May 2018, in the first leg of the Scottish Premiership play-off semi-final, Pittman scored the winning goal as Livingston won 3–2 away to Dundee United.[11] He scored again in the first leg of the final, getting Livingston's second goal in a 2–1 win at home against Partick Thistle.[12] He also played in the second leg as Livingston won 1–0 to complete a 3–1 aggregate victory to gain promotion to the Scottish Premiership.[13]
On 22 March 2019, Pittman signed a new contract, keeping him at Livingston until 2021.[14]
During his spell at Livingston, Pittman has broken several records. In April 2022 he became the club's record top-flight appearance holder with 124, surpassing Oscar Rubio's tally.[15] In August the same year he became the record appearance holder in the Livingston era, breaking Keaghan Jacobs' record.[16]
In October 2022 Pittman signed a further contract extension, penning a three-year deal lasting until the end of the 2025/26 season and taking him into a testimonial year.[17]
