Scott Bain, born on 22 November 1991, now aged 34, hails from Scotland and has made a distinct mark for himself playing as a goalkeeper, presently for Falkirk, where he proudly wears the number 19 jersey. Bain stands an impressive 6ft (1.83m) tall and with a solid physique of 11st (70kg), contributes significantly to his team's defensive prowess. He also has the honor of having once represented the highly regarded Scotland national team.

The Scottish footballer's current market value on the transfer market floats around £85k, as reported by Transfermarkt.

In the decade that dates back to 2010, Bain traces his roots in the football field when he made a transfer from Aberdeen, the Premiership in Scotland to Elgin City in League Two, Scotland. Despite being loaned, he managed 11 first team appearances in league matches in his debut season with Elgin City.

He then found himself playing for Alloa Athletic in the League One in Scotland by the start of the 2011 season. His time at Alloa Athletic was marked by consistent performances, chalking 35 appearances in league matches during each season from 2011 to 2014.

Come 2014, Bain stepped up to Dundee in the Premiership in Scotland. Throughout his four year tenure there from 2014 to 2018, his participation remained robust, making over 35 appearances every season, except his final season there in 2017 - 2018.

In the early part of January 2018, Bain had a fleeting stint with Hibernian, again in the Premiership in Scotland. That very month, he was as also transferred to Celtic, marking the beginning of his significantly long engagement. His six-year tenure at Celtic was marked by a fluctuating participation in league matches, ranging from a mere one appearance in 2022-2023 to 20 appearances in 2018-2019.

Noteworthy is his valuable contribution to Celtic Football Club. A fan favourite, Bain has been an influential player at Celtic, with a total of 53 first team appearances from the 2017-2018 season through to 2023-2024 season. Seeing the Hoops through some fantastic victories and occasionally, difficult losses, Bain has proven himself to be reliable and steadfast, displaying in particular a knack for some truly remarkable saves. No stranger to both praise and critique, Bain's impact at Celtic was tangible, and his departure undoubtedly left a void among the ranks.

In 2025, Bain moved from Celtic to Falkirk, where he has been playing in the current 2025 - 2026 season. With 23 first team appearances in league matches already under his belt, Bain continues to prominently feature for Falkirk. Notably, he participated in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 with three starts and the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 with one start.
