Early career
Šćepović started his professional career at OFK Beograd in 2007. In 2010 he left on loan to Sampdoria. As part of the agreement, Sampdoria have an option to sign him permanently at the end of the season. At the end of the season, Šćepović was linked to Juventus and Belgian Club Brugge, signing with the latter.

In September he became the first player in the history of the club who managed to score in his first five consecutive games (against Real Madrid Castilla, Recreativo de Huelva, Mallorca, Ponferradina and Deportivo de La Coruña). This great performance was rewarded with the Segunda División Player of Month prize.
In January 2014 Šćepović was voted by the readers of Spanish sports newspaper Marca, best player of the first half of season, being referred as "the king of Segunda". Also, he was named in the campaign's midway best eleven, chosen by LFP.

The other goal of that game was a free kick from John Guidetti, earned after Manuel Pascali was sent off for a professional foul on Šćepović.
On 15 March 2015, Šćepović was an unused substitute as Celtic won the Scottish League Cup with a 2–0 win over Dundee United in the final at Hampden Park, with Stokes and Leigh Griffiths starting and Guidetti as a substitute.
