And if Scotland can clinch victory the hooker wants to dedicate the triumph to his travel-weary parents who are journeying by car from Bulgaria to watch their son in action.
Scott said in today's Daily Record: "Quite by coincidence they are on holiday in Bulgaria at the moment and have decided to hire a car and drive to the game.
"They have no idea how long it will take or how difficult it might be to cross the border, but their effort means a huge amount to me and their presence will certainly be an inspiration.'
Scott made his first senior appearance in a dark blue jersey in their first-ever success against the Barbarians at Pittodrie 10 days ago - but he insisted the clash in the Dinamo Stadium will mean so much more to him.
He said: "The Baa-Baas match couldn't have gone any better either personally or as a team but starting against the Romanians will be for real and definitely a step up from anything I have experienced in rugby."
Scott was quick to stress he owes it to Bulloch to do himself justice on the big stage - while also admitting he's nowhere near as good as his Glasgow mentor.
He said: "I have worked very closely with Gordy at Glasgow and I think we have helped each other a lot in training over the past six months.
"While I am delighted to be making the step up to his position, I know full well that I am miles behind him in terms of being a proper international player.
"I need to improve before I will be ready for all the demands of Test rugby.
"The pace and physicality are so much more intense than the Celtic League and I will not look ahead until I have coped with what Romania can throw at me. I certainly don't imagine at the moment that I will be challenging for Gordon's berth when he returns from Lions duties, but I would like to think that in time I might be able to put a bit of pressure on him."
In addition to his parents, Scott will spare a thought for the man who inspired him as a teenager at Biggar - Under-18 coach Rod Kraise.
He said: "Rod was a true club stalwart who was totally devoted to the cause. It was a tragedy when he died of cancer a few years ago but his legacy definitely lives on."
