Scott Martin (footballer)

Scott Anthony Martin (born 1 April 1997) is a Scottish footballer, who plays as a defensive midfielder for Partick Thistle.

Raised in Cambuslang[1] and a pupil at Trinity High School,[2] Martin trained with Celtic as a young boy but was released.

His mother corresponded with several professional clubs on his behalf, and he joined the youth setup at Hibernian in 2007, following a successful trial.

[7] Early in his career, he was compared to the Scotland captain Scott Brown, due to similarities in their style of play and the fact that both players came through the Hibernian youth system.

[12] After spending six and a half years with Hamilton Academical, on 3 February 2025 Martin joined fellow Scottish Championship club Partick Thistle on an 18 month deal, with the option of a further year, with Thistle midfielder Scott Robinson heading the other way as part of a swap deal for the two players.
