Scott Bain, a familiar figure between the sticks, was born in the heartlands of Scotland on the 22nd of November, 1991. Now at age 34, he impresses for Falkirk, donning the number 19 jersey while flexing his goalkeeping prowess in this devout football nation. Bain, standing tall at 6 feet (1.83m) and weighing in at a lean 11 stone (70kg), has also represented Scotland on the international stage, further advocating his pedigree.

Bain's worth in the football market currently floats around £85k, courtesy of Transfermarkt, but it's his journey through Scottish football that's of more interest. His career began at Aberdeen before a loan spell at Elgin City in the 2010-2011 season, where he made 11 appearances.

In the summer of 2011, Bain left the comforts of Aberdeen to join Alloa Athletic, where he had a memorable three seasons with 100 appearances to his name, a testament to both his talent and durability. His performances at Alloa beckoned Dundee, who, in 2014, secured his services. As a Dundee player, Bain's presence was a constant at the back, making 137 appearances until January 2018.

A brief loan spell at Hibernian was quickly followed by a similar arrangement at Celtic. During this period, even though his appearances were sporadic, his influence when called upon was undeniable. Following the 2017-2018 season, Bain made his loan move to Celtic permanent, and it was here that he would forge his legacy.

Celtic Park saw Bain defend the green and white hoops across seven seasons, from 2018 to 2025, making a total of 53 appearances for the club. Capped with numerous trophies and accolades, Bain's time at Celtic was indeed memorable and illustrious.

As of July 2025, Bain took his talents to Falkirk, where he has remained a consistent figure in the first team with 25 league appearances to his name. Bain's presence has also been felt in the Cup competitions as he started three games in the League Cup and one in the Scottish Cup during the 2025-2026 season.
