Scott Tanser is an English left-back, born on 23 October 1994 (age 31), and an established figure in Scottish football. He has never been the sort of player who needs much embroidery: a regular full-back, trusted for league minutes, and still relevant at first-team level in 2025-26.
His most productive league season came at St Johnstone in 2018-19, when he scored three goals in 37 appearances. For a left-back, that was useful output rather than a career reinvention, and it sits neatly with the broader shape of his game: steady, involved, and generally more practical than spectacular.
In 2025-26, Tanser made 22 league appearances for St Mirren and scored once, underlining that he remained part of the weekly picture rather than drifting into the background. He is primarily a left-back and is listed with Falkirk, keeping him within the familiar circuit of the Scottish game.
Tanser’s career is that of a durable Scottish-league professional: St Johnstone gave him one of his stronger spells, St Mirren kept him prominent into his early thirties, and Falkirk represents the latest stage of a career built on regular senior football.
