Scott Chaplain

Scott Chaplain (born 10 September 1983 in Bellshill) is a retired professional Scottish footballer. He last played for Albion Rovers in their 2014-15 Scottish League Two winning season.
Chaplain began his career in the Rangers youth set-up before moving on to Ayr United in 2000. He made 91 starts and scored 11 goals in his 5 seasons at the club before being released and signing for Albion Rovers. One of his biggest successes for Rovers came in the 2006–07 season when he scored 18 league goals and won the SPFA's player of the year award for the Third Division. At the end of the season, he was snapped up on a full-time contract by Partick Thistle manager Ian McCall.
After leaving Partick Thistle in the summer of 2009, Chaplain was signed by Dumbarton. He signed for a second stint with Albion Rovers in January 2011, helping them to an against-all-odds promotion into the Second Division. He scored the goal that got Rovers into the play-off final, and in that final against Stranraer he scored two goals to help Rovers to a historic survival in the third tier.
In Summer 2012 Chaplain left Albion Rovers on that high for a stint with Third Division side Annan Athletic but could not resist a move back to Cliftonhill in May 2013. He was a crucial part of the Rovers side that reached the last 8 of the 2013-14 Scottish Cup, and scored ten goals from midfield in the 2014-15 season, when Albion Rovers won the League Two title.
After helping Rovers to a league title, Chaplain retired from football on 3rd June 2015 having been offered a position with the Scottish Football Association.
