Scott Bain shut out his old club Celtic in a standout Falkirk win, and the timing could hardly be better for his Scotland squad ambitions.
Scott Bain picked the perfect moment for a statement performance. The Falkirk goalkeeper put on a commanding display against his former club, Celtic, and helped his side to a victory that will be talked about for a while.
Facing the team he once played for, Bain looked immovable between the posts. Celtic kept coming and he kept answering, turning what could have been a tense afternoon for Falkirk into a night of belief and celebration.
The timing adds another layer. With a new Scotland squad about to be picked, the goalkeeper has handed the national setup a strong reminder of what he can offer. Performances like this, against high-profile opposition, are exactly what selectors look for when weighing up their options.
For Falkirk, the result is a major confidence boost and proof that their last line of defence can rise to the biggest occasions. For Bain, it is a chance to show he belongs in the Scotland conversation, and he has made his case loudly.
