Actually, I don't think it will. I can't see Scotland winning a referendum in the short run given the price of oil. The EU is unlikely to accept Scotland as member states won't want to encourage their own secessionist regions.
That said, all predictions about the future right now should be taken with a pinch of salt. Nobody predicted this result, and nobpdy has a clue what comes next.

I would understand the need to discourage secession of regions who would then leave the EU, however the EU has an incentive to accept Scotland because its secession would be the first step towards restoring EU membership.
