Falkirk goalkeeper Scott Bain delivered a standout performance against Dundee United on Saturday, recording eight saves to keep his side in the match until a stoppage-time goal forced a draw. The 34-year-old’s display followed an error at Celtic Park the previous week, marking a return to form for the goalkeeper. With Scotland head coach Sebastien Pocognoli set to name his first squad for upcoming Nations League matches, Bain is being positioned as a potential candidate to fill a vacancy in the international goalkeeping ranks. The retirement of Craig Gordon and limited playing time for Angus Gunn and Liam Kelly have created uncertainty at the position. Falkirk manager John McGlynn praised Bain’s distribution and ability to organize the defense, noting that his recent form warrants consideration from the national team staff.
