Scott Bain, born on 22 November 1991 in Scotland, serves as the dependable goalkeeper for Falkirk. He measures up to one's expectations at 6ft (1.83m) tall and weighs about 11st (70kg). Bain, who dons the number 19 jersey, has also turned out for the Scotland national team. His current market value stands at approximately £85k, according to Transfermarkt.

In August 2010, Bain started his impressive journey from Aberdeen in the Premiership in Scotland, moving to Elgin City in the League Two in Scotland on loan. In his debut season 2010 - 2011 at Elgin City, he confidently made 11 first team appearances in league matches.

Subsequently, in July 2011, he was transferred from Aberdeen to Alloa Athletic in the League One in Scotland. Over the course of three seasons at Alloa Athletic, he consistently furthered his career with an impressive 100 first team appearances in league matches.

Then, in July 2014, Bain moved from Alloa Athletic to Dundee in the Premiership in Scotland. Over four seasons, he made a resolute impression with a total of 107 first team appearances in league matches.

Briefly, in January 2018, Bain was loaned from Dundee to Hibernian in the Premiership in Scotland. Albeit shortly, that same month, he changed directions from Dundee to Celtic. His initial move to Celtic was on loan.

During his first season 2017-2018 at Celtic, Bain made seven appearances. However, this was only the beginning of his time at Celtic. Across seven seasons from 2017 to 2024, Bain took his burgeoning career at Celtic to new heights, boasting a total of 53 first team appearances in league matches. His spell at Celtic is memorable for unyielding dedication and a tireless commitment to the club's ethos.

Eventually, Bain transferred permanently from Dundee to Celtic in July 2018. He served the Hoops with tenacity, courage and conviction – a true sentinel of Celtic's goal. His time at Celtic, perhaps not marked by trophy-laden seasons, was hallmarked by stern dedication. The Bhoys still fondly reminisce over Bain’s adroit saves and commanding presence in the penalty box.

In July 2025, Bain made a move from Celtic to Falkirk in the Premiership in Scotland. Currently, in the 2025 - 2026 season at Falkirk, Bain has confidently made 19 first team appearances in league matches. He also had the opportunity to participate in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Falkirk with three starts.

In summary, Scott Bain, an exemplar of steadfastness, successfully manoeuvred his career throughout various tiers in Scottish football. From Aberdeen to Elgin City, Alloa Athletic, Dundee, Hibernian, Celtic and now Falkirk, Bain's talent, professional acumen, and ability to adapt stand testament to his substantial career. His journey offers a testament to the fluidity and challenges within Scottish football, enriching the tapestry of the game in Scotland.
