Houghton announced she will retire at the end of the season, bringing an end to a glittering career in which she has been synonymous with the rapid growth of the women's game.
The 36-year-old won 121 caps for England, was the star player for Team GB at the London 2012 Olympics and captained City to their first and only league title in 2016 alongside Scott. City are within touching distance of a second title as they currently sit six points clear at the top ahead of rivals Chelsea - having played two games more - and Scott, 37, called on her former side to get over the line to see Houghton off in style.
"I would love to see City win it, especially with it being Steph Houghton's last season," said Scott, who was speaking at the launch of the FA's Greater Game initiative.
"She deserves to go out on a high and I would love to see her with that trophy in her hands. She has been fantastic. To still be playing now even with the injuries she has had, she is a true warrior when it comes to football. Everybody at Man City will want to win it for her.
