Scott Bain (born 22 November 1991) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Scottish Premiership club Falkirk. Bain is an Aberdeen youth product, although never played in a competitive first team Aberdeen game. After playing on loan at Elgin City, he then played over 100 games for each of Alloa Athletic and Dundee. After playing initially on loan for Celtic, he subsequently played over 75 first team games for the club, mostly in the first three of his seven and a half seasons there.

Bain has played three times for the Scotland national team.

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Aberdeen

[edit | edit source]

Bain began his footballing career at Aberdeen's academy. Shortly after his promotion to the first team, he was loaned to Elgin City, where he made his professional debut.[3][4] In May 2011, Bain was released by Aberdeen.

Alloa Athletic

[edit | edit source]

In June 2011, Bain signed a one-year contract with Scottish Third Division side Alloa Athletic.[5] He established himself as a first-team regular, and helped the club to consecutive promotions in his first two seasons.

Dundee

[edit | edit source]

On 29 May 2014, Bain signed a three-year contract with Dundee.[6] He made his debut on 26 August 2014, in a 4–0 win against Raith Rovers in the Scottish League Cup.[7] Bain made a first league appearance for Dundee in October 2014, when Kyle Letheren was injured during a pre-match exercise.[8] On 6 April 2015, he signed a new contract with Dundee, extending his deal with the club until 2018.[9] Bain was dropped from the Dundee first team squad by manager Neil McCann in November 2017, for unspecified disciplinary reasons.[10][11]

Hibernian (loan)

[edit | edit source]

On 1 January 2018, it was announced that Bain had joined Hibernian on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season.[12][13][14] Hibernian cancelled the loan on 31 January, which allowed Bain to join Celtic instead.[15]

Celtic

[edit | edit source]

Bain joined Celtic on 31 January 2018, initially on loan from Dundee.[15] Celtic needed another goalkeeper to provide competition for Dorus de Vries, following an injury to Craig Gordon.[15] Bain made his first appearance for Celtic on 11 March, in a 3–2 win against Rangers, after de Vries suffered an injury in training.[16]

With his contract with Dundee due to expire at the end of the 2017–18 season, Bain signed a four-year contract with Celtic in May 2018.[17] Bain played regularly for Celtic after the January 2019 winter break.[18]

In October 2019, he signed a one-year contract with the club.[19]

His last game for Celtic was a 3-2 league home win against St Mirren on 18 May 2024. After failing to make a first team appearance during the 2024-25 season and just earning 8 such appearances in total in the previous 3 seasons,[20] Bain was released by Celtic at the end of the 2024–25 season.[21]

Falkirk

[edit | edit source]

On 3 June 2025, Bain signed a one-year deal with Falkirk.[22]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Due to an injury to Allan McGregor, Scotland manager Gordon Strachan called Bain into the national squad for a friendly with Qatar and a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match with the Republic of Ireland in June 2015.[23]

Bain was recalled to the squad in May 2018 for friendly matches against Peru and Mexico, after McGregor again dropped out through injury.[24] He made his first full international appearance on 2 June 2018, in a 1–0 defeat against Mexico.[25] His second cap came in a 3–0 defeat against Kazakhstan in Euro 2020 qualification.[26]

He was recalled to the international squad in November 2025, six years since his last appearance.[27]
