Scott Bain, born 22nd November 1991 in Scotland, is currently shielding the net for Falkirk, adorning the number 19 jersey. Standing tall at 6ft (1.83m) and a sturdy weight of 11st (70kg), his commanding presence is a strong deterrent for his opponents. His talent, coupled with experience, has justified his current market value of around £128k, as evaluated by Transfermarkt.

Skimming through the reels of his past, Bain started his professional career with Aberdeen, making a loan move to Elgin City in League Two in Scotland during the 2010-2011 season. Making 11 appearances in the league, he showcased his abilities and proved his mettle.

In July 2011, Bain found a new home at Alloa Athletic in Scottish League One. Here, he played three seasons and featured regularly in the league matches. His appearances ranged between 30 to 35 throughout his spell at Alloa.

In 2014, he stepped up to the Scottish Premiership with Dundee. Bain was a staple between the sticks for three and a half seasons at Dens Park, featuring in more than 20 league games each term, summarising his steadfast performance year after year.

The year 2018 brought two major changes in Bain's career. In January, he was loaned out to Hibernian, and later during the same window he switched to Celtic, once again on loan.

Ah, Celtic! The team that is not just a part of Bain's career but has made significant contributions to his growth as a steadfast goalkeeper. Initially joining the Hoops on loan, Bain got his hard-earned permanent deal with Celtic in July 2018, after a short loan spell. His performances were rewarded as he became a more regular fixture between the posts at Celtic Park. Bain made appearances ranging from a single match to up to 20 matches per season. In the 2020 - 2021 season, he featured in 18 league games for the Celts. His tenure at Celtic drew to an end in 2025.

Having recently moved to Falkirk in the 2025 - 2026 season, Bain's experience and abilities in goal will doubtless have an impact in the league matches. He started in four games and has also been quite influential in the Scottish League Cup, with three starts to his name. It's without a doubt that Bain's presence in the game continues to impress football enthusiasts with his terrific goalkeeping exploits.
