Philip Campbell Scott (born November 14, 1974 in Perth) is a retired Scottish professional footballer.

After playing junior football for Scone Thistle, Scott signed professional terms for Alex Totten's St. Johnstone in 1991 after coming through the Perth youth system and established himself as a mainstay in John McClelland and, later, Paul Sturrock's midfield. Nicknamed Phizzy, he was a member of Sturrock's 1996/97 squad that won promotion to the top-flight.

After eight years at McDiarmid Park, Scott moved south to join Sheffield Wednesday for a £100,000 fee.

Scott made only two league appearances for the Owls, but scored one goal - an equaliser in a draw against Newcastle. His time at Hillsborough was plagued by injury, and he was released at the end of his contract in April 2002.[1]

Unable to overcome his injury, Scott decided to retire from the game in 2003 at the age of 29. Ironically, given his torrid time with injuries, he worked as a personal trainer for Virgin Active gym in Sheffield and is now their General Manager after learning the ropes as Fitness Manager and General Manager in Glasgow.
