Scott commented ‘I’ll be thirty five when I come to the end of my contract here which for me is great that I will have managed to stay in mainstream football for such a long period of time.’

Marco, who has shown steady form throughout the past season has had his contract extended until June 2004.

“I feel happier in the knowledge that Nipper and Marco have signed up – both are crucial players on the pitch and it gives us a sense of stability to have them with us for such a long period of time.” Commented Jimmy Calderwood
