Scott Bain, born on the 22nd of November 1991, is a native of Scotland who, at a ripe age of 34, currently serves as the goalkeeper for Falkirk. His imposing frame, standing at 6ft (1.83m) tall and weighing 11st (70kg), bodes well for this physically demanding position. Bain, who proudly sports the jersey number 19, has also had the honour of representing the national team of Scotland.
Bain's present market value is estimated to be around £86k, according to Transfermarkt.
Bain's journey into professional football began in August 2010 when he was loaned from Aberdeen, a team in the Scottish Premiership, to League Two side, Elgin City. During his inaugural season (2010 - 2011) at Elgin City, Bain caught the eye with 11 first team appearances in league matches.
In July 2011, a transfer saw Bain move from Aberdeen to Alloa Athletic, a side competing in Scotland's League One. Bain proved his worth at Alloa Athletic. He made thirty appearances in the 2011 - 2012 season, and then a strong 35 appearances in both the 2012 - 2013 and 2013 - 2014 seasons.
Emerging from Alloa Athletic, Bain transferred to Dundee in the Premiership in July 2014. His time at Dundee was eventful and fruitful, including 22 first team appearances in the 2014 - 2015 season, 37 in the 2015 - 2016 period, 36 in the 2016 - 2017 season, and 12 in the 2017 - 2018 timeframe.
Bain's next move occurred in January 2018, when he was loaned from Dundee to Hibernian, another side in the Scottish Premiership. However, in the same transfer window of January 2018, another loan saw Bain make a move from Dundee to the grand side of Celtic.
This move proved significant as Bain spent several seasons at Celtic. In the 2017 - 2018 season, he made seven appearances, followed by twenty in the 2018 - 2019 season. His contribution reduced to only two first team appearances in the 2019 - 2020 season, however, Bain bounced back by making 18 appearances in the 2020 - 2021 season. His Celtic career concluded with two appearances in the 2021 - 2022 season, one in the 2022 - 2023 season and three in his final 2023 - 2024 season.
Bain made a permanent move from Dundee to Celtic in July 2018 where he continued his legacy. His contribution reduced to only two first-team appearances in the 2019 - 2020 season, but then Bain regained his form by making 18 appearances in the 2020 - 2021 match year. His Celtic journey concluded with two match contributions in the 2021 - 2022 period, one in the 2022 - 2023 spell and three in the final 2023 - 2024 season.
Exiting the Celtic fold in July 2025, Bain moved to Falkirk, where he has made 28 first-team appearances in the ongoing 2025 - 2026 season. Bain also flexed his skill in cup competitions for Falkirk, with three starts in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 and two starts in the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026.
