Falkirk confirm Bain signing as keeper reveals 'reason' behind switch
The goalkeeper's seven-and-a-half-year stay at Celtic ended last week. Read more: Falkirk have since moved quickly to secure his services and confirmed his signing this afternoon. "It's great to be here," Bain told after putting pen to paper on a one-year deal. "The club is very well run and it's a really great set-up. It's full of good people, and that's a part of the reason I wanted to come here. "I think I can come in and help a bit in terms of experience with the league and with the team's style of play. I'm really looking forward to working with the squad and the management team. The boys have done an incredible job over the last two years and hopefully I can help this season to be an other successful one for the club and the fans." Assistant manager Paul Smith weighed in on the signing, revealing Bain had offers from elsewhere. He said: "We're delighted Scott has joined us here at Falkirk after he chose to come to the club over various other offers both north and south of the border. "He is a goalkeeper who comes to us after seven years at Celtic, and in that time he has played in massive European games, Scottish international matches, and at the highest level in Scotland, so he comes to the club with a wealth of experience. "He is really good with the ball at his feet, and his style of play perfectly suits the play-style and ethos that we have at Falkirk. He'll fit in really well with Nicky, Jamie, and Owen, and I'm sure all three will learn from the vast experience that Scott has. We look forward to working with him in the coming season."

Scott Bain to sign for Falkirk after early Celtic departure
Former Celtic goalkeeper Scott Bain has agreed to sign for Falkirk, STV Sport understands. The 33-year-old has agreed terms on a one-year contract with the newly-promoted side as manager John McGlynn looks to strengthen his squad for their Premeirship return. Bain is a free agent after agreeing an early exit from Celtic and now looks likely to have regular first-team football after a long spell as a reserve at the champions. The goalkeeper started his career at Aberdeen and then impressed at Alloa before moving to Dundee in 2014. His performances at Dundee caught the eye of Celtic, who initially signed him on a half-season loan deal as cover in 2018. Bain went on to spend another seven seasons as a Celtic player, though he only made 78 first-team appearances across his time in Glasgow, with Craig Gordon, Joe Hart and Kasper Schmeichel among the goalkeepers who were ahead of him in the pecking order.
