Scott Bain, born in Edinburgh on 22 November 1991 (age 34), is a Scottish goalkeeper with Falkirk, wearing squad number 29. His early senior football was built away from the glare, including a useful 2010-11 loan spell at Elgin City, where he made 11 league appearances.
A spell with Falkirk formed part of that development before he became more firmly established at Dundee. That was the platform that took him to Celtic in January 2018, when he joined from Dundee and moved into a squad with little room for passengers.
At Celtic, Bain was rarely the loudest figure in the story, but he was involved across a highly successful period. He won seven Premiership titles, four League Cups and four Scottish Cups with the club, and was also part of squads that finished runners-up in two Scottish Cups and one Premiership campaign.
He left Celtic in July 2025 for a return to Falkirk. In 2026-27, he has made 13 league appearances and four Scottish Cup appearances, giving him 17 appearances across all competitions for the club.
Bain’s career has taken him from early loan football through Dundee, a long and decorated Celtic spell, and back to Falkirk. His current market value is around £85,000, according to Transfermarkt.
