But you can't, because there's no such process. You can only get it as a side-effect of holding actual citizenship of a country that is a member of the EU.
You still don't get the the benefits of EU citizenship, so why should Scots still get any benefit from UK citizenship?

How many examples are there, where part of country splits off, that citizens of the new country, automatically keep citizenship and rights of the old?
