Scott Bain, born on the 22nd of November 1991 in Scotland, is a substantial figure between the sticks for Falkirk Football Club. Standing at 6ft (1.83m) and weighing in at 11st (70kg), Bain dons the number 19 jersey. His skills and formidable presence have extended beyond the club level, seeing him represent the Scotland national team. According to Transfermarkt, his market value currently hovers around the €100k mark, a sum equivalent to roughly £85,000.
Early in his career, Bain shifted from Aberdeen to Elgin City on loan in August 2010. During the 2010 - 2011 season, he made 11 appearances for Elgin in League Two. The following year, Bain transferred to Alloa Athletic in League One where he kept the net for a considerably more matches, totalling 100 appearances from 2011 to 2014.
In July 2014, the Dundee Premiership club saw potential in Bain, securing his skills as their first-line goalkeeper. Bain's tenure at Dundee from 2014 to 2018 saw him make a total of 107 appearances.
A brief loan spell at Hibernian in January 2018 preceded his critical move to Celtic later that same month. At first joining the giants on loan, Bain's prowess persuaded Celtic to ink a permanent deal in July of 2018. Bain's tenure at Celtic from 2017 to 2025 witnessed him making a total of 53 appearances in league matches, not without years of less game time.
Simultaneously though, Bain was not a mere benchwarmer. He quickly became a reliable option between the sticks, always ready to perform when required. His ability to be called upon in various situations is what ultimately led to an extended stay at the club, far outlasting other, more short-lived transient players of the era.
After saying goodbye to Celtic in July 2025, Bain found a new home in Falkirk where he continued to guard the net. In the current 2025 - 2026 season, he has already made 22 first team appearances in league matches and started in three League Cup matches and one Scottish Cup game.
