Scott Bain, born on 22 November 1991 and presently 33, is a Scottish professional guardian of the goal, more famously known as a goalkeeper, currently serving at Falkirk. The Scot is 6ft (1.83m) tall and weights 11 stone (70 kg). He proudly adorns the number 19 jersey.

Bain's estimated market value resides around the figure of £130,000 as suggested by Transfermarkt.

Bain's journey in football took gravity in August 2010, when he was loaned from Aberdeen in Scottish Premiership to Elgin City in League Two in Scotland. In his debut season 2010 - 2011, Bain graced the pitch in 11 different league matches for Elgin City.

In July 2011, the tide of his journey transformed and Bain transferred from Aberdeen to Alloa Athletic in League One in Scotland. Over the next three seasons, Bain consistently made 35 appearances in each and sheathed the net for Alloa Athletic.

July 2014 marked the itinerary where Bain departed from Alloa Athletic to Dundee in the Premiership. A calculable and steady performer, he appeared between 22 and 37 matches in each subsequent season for Dundee, with a notable dip to 12 appearances in season 2017 - 2018.

Those turbulent times didn't dampen Bain's resolute character, as he was loaned to Hibernian in January 2018. The same month also saw him being loaned to Celtic, marking the beginning of an appreciable tenure.

Scott Bain, the unsung hero of Celtic, served the hoops for a good span of six seasons. The earliest loan spell at Celtic, saw him making seven first team appearances in league matches in the 2017 - 2018 season. A turn of events saw him transferred permanently to Celtic, in July 2018 from Dundee after the loan spell. His journey in the subsequent seasons with Celtic saw him posting between 1 to 20 appearances, with a best performance in the 2018 - 2019 season with 20 appearances.

Bain decided to change sceneries in July 2025, from Celtic to Falkirk. In his current 2025 - 2026 season with Falkirk, Bain has made a respectable 12 first team appearances in league matches. He has also been a key player in the 2025 - 2026 League Cup for Falkirk with three starts.

Scott Bain, a man of quiet fortitude, continues to be the bastion between defended glory and scored disaster. This is evident from his career trajectory and accumulated appearances, making him an esteemed figure in Scottish Football.
