Scott McDonald (born August 21, 1983 in Melbourne ) is an Australian football player .
Career
As a center forward, McDonald, son of Scottish parents, began his career in 1998 with the Gippsland Falcons . In 2001 he moved to the island for the then second division club Southampton FC . McDonald was loaned to Huddersfield Town for a short time in 2002 but came back to Southampton that same year. In March 2003 he moved to AFC Bournemouth before he was signed by Wimbledon FC in August 2003 . However, he moved to Motherwell FC in the Scottish Premier League six months later, in winter 2004 .
Motherwell
When he arrived at his new club, he managed only one goal in the second half of the 2003/04 season. In the following season 2004/05 he got 15 hits. In addition, McDonald ensured on the last match day with two goals in the 88th and 90th minute against his later club Celtic Glasgow (final score 2-1 for Motherwell) that Celtic's arch-rivals, the Glasgow Rangers , could still win the championship in Scotland . In the following two seasons he hit again regularly, 11 hits in the 2005/06 season, and another 15 hits in his final season with Motherwell.
Celtic Glasgow
In the summer of 2007, McDonald finally moved to Celtic Glasgow . This was a great wish of his as he is an avowed Celtic fan. With his goal to make it 2-1 in the 90th minute on October 3, 2007 in the Champions League against AC Milan, McDonald scored his most important career goal. McDonald was the top scorer with 25 league goals. Since the 2008/09 season he wore the legendary jersey number 7, which players like Jimmy Johnstone and Henrik Larsson once wore before him . This season he got 16 hits again, which put him in second place in the scorers list.
Middlesbrough FC
Shortly before the transfer market closed, McDonald transferred to Middlesbrough FC in the championship on February 1, 2010 . There he meets his former teammates Stephen McManus , Willo Flood , Chris Killen and Barry Robson as well as coach Gordon Strachan , who also moved to Middlesbrough a few weeks ago. The transfer fee for McDonald is said to be around £ 3.5 million pounds.
Milwall FC
For the 2013/2014 season he moved to the league rivals Millwall FC .
