Scott Bain, a Scot born on the 22nd of November 1991 (age 34), is known for being an adept goalkeeper, currently playing for Falkirk Football Club. Measuring up to a substantial height of 1.83m (6ft) and falling on the scales at 70kg (11st), he dons the number 19 jersey. Significantly, Bain's professional career extends beyond club football, as he has represented the Scottish national team, a testament to his skills between the sticks.

Valued around a modest sum of €100k (£85k), as reported by the Transfermarkt, Bain's footballing journey has involved several Scottish clubs. After his initial stint with Aberdeen in the Premiership, he was loaned to Elgin City in League Two where he featured in 11 league matches during the 2010-2011 season.

In July 2011, Bain made a permanent move from Aberdeen to League One side Alloa Athletic. Over three seasons (2011-2014), he made an impressive 100 appearances in league matches.

His commendable performances at Alloa Athletic led him to the Premiership again, this time to Dundee Football Club in July 2014. A vital player for Dundee, Bain appeared in 107 league matches over approximately three and a half seasons (2014-2018).

A brief loan period at Hibernian preceded his next big move in January 2018, when he was loaned and then transferred to Celtic, one of the most celebrated clubs in Scottish football history. Bain's time at Celtic was marked by a certain inconsistency in game time. From his debut season at the club in 2017-2018 through to the 2023-2024 season, his first-team league appearances varied each season – seven, 20, two, 18, two, one, and three respectively, totalling 53 appearances across all seasons.

In July 2025, Bain transferred from Celtic to Falkirk, another Premiership club. In the current season (2025 - 2026), Bain has featured in 29 league matches for Falkirk. He has also had the honour of starting three games each in the League Cup and Scottish Cup of 2025 - 2026 for his new club.

All in all, Scott Bain can be described as an experienced professional goalkeeper. His career path is studded with significant contributions to the Scottish football landscape, including a notable tenure at Celtic Football Club. Despite the constant ups and downs, Bain's commitment to his role between the posts has remained unwavering, making him an indelible part of this nation's footballing fabric.
