Town announced the signing of Celtic defender Scott Cuthbert in July 2009.

The 22-year old came up through the ranks at Celtic Park and captained the club's Under 19 and reserve teams.

He made his debut for the Hoops' first team in a pre-season friendly with Manchester City in August 2008.

The defender joined St. Mirren on a season-long loan deal in 2008/2009 and made 28 league starts for the club before returning to Celtic.

Cuthbert also has experience of International football having captained the Scotland Under 19 side that reached the final of the UEFA Under 19 Championships in 2006.

He also represented the Scotland Under 20 team that played at the 2007 World Cup in Canada, and played for Scotland's 'B' side as recently as May 2009.

He was named vice-captain by manager Danny Wilson on Tuesday 3rd August 2010.

Cuthbert made his Swindon debut on the opening day of Season 2009/2010 at Gillingham, but was then left out of the side until the Carling Cup game at Wolves - before scoring the opener against Southend United at the end of August.

He went on to become one of the first names on Danny Wilson's team sheet throughout the season, forming an impressive central defensive partnership with former Town captain Gordon Greer.
