Scott Bain, a Scots born goalkeeper for Falkirk, was brought into the world on the 22nd of November in 1991, which makes him 33. He exhibits an imposing stature of 6ft which equates to 1.83m, and tips the scale at 11st, or rather 70kg. Bain uses his ability to guard the goal in the 19 jersey.

His present market value hovers around £170k, as noted by Transfermarkt. His current deal with Falkirk is due to conclude on the 31st of May 2026, after which, the pursuit for a new contract begins.

Let's trace the journey of this diligent goalkeeper. Back in August 2010, Bain was loaned from Aberdeen in the Premiership, and send on his way to Elgin City in the League Two. He first adorned the goalie gloves 11 times for league matches in his inaugural 2010 - 2011 season at Elgin City. He built up his resilience during this tenure, preparing for the challenges ahead.

In July 2011, Bain was transferred to Alloa Athletic in the League One from Aberdeen. His time at Alloa Athletic saw a marked improvement in his appearances. From 2011 to 2014, he took to the field a commendable 100 times in league matches, honing his skills and strengthening his resolve.

Bain's journey then led him to Dundee in the Premiership in July 2014. During his tenure at Dundee from 2014 to 2018, his game-reading ability gradually increased. Bain made 107 first team appearances in league matches, gaining invaluable experience as a resilient goalkeeper.

In January 2018, he moved from Dundee on loan to Hibernian and then to Celtic in the same month. The sacred Celtic goal felt the touch of Bain's gloves for the first time. Despite the journey so far, his tenacity did not falter.

Bain's tenure at Celtic lasted six years, from 2018 to 2024. As the Celtic goalkeeper, he put up a robust defence, making 53 first team appearances in league matches. His association with Celtic truly brought out the quintessence of his goalkeeping prowess.

Finally, in July 2025, Bain made a switch from Celtic back to Falkirk in the Premiership league. In the ongoing season 2025 - 2026, Bain continues to guard the nets for Falkirk with the same zeal and rigour that has been his signature style over the years.
