Scott Bain (born 22 November 1991) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Dundee as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Bain began his footballing career at Aberdeen's Academy, and was loaned to Elgin City shortly after being promoted to the first team squad.[1] He made his senior debut on 21 August 2010, in a 2–0 home loss against East Stirlingshire.[2]

After being released by Aberdeen in May 2011, Bain signed a one-year deal with Scottish Third Division side Alloa Athletic on 9 June.[3] He established himself as a first-team regular, being promoted twice in his first two seasons at the club.

On 29 May 2014, Bain signed a three-year deal with Dundee.[4] He made his debut for Dundee on 26 August 2014, in a 4–0 win against Raith Rovers in the Scottish League Cup.[5] Bain made a first league appearance for Dundee in October 2014, when Kyle Letheren was injured during a pre-match exercise.[6] On 6 April 2015, he signed a new contract with Dundee, extending his deal with the club until 2018.[7]

International career

Due to an injury to Allan McGregor, manager Gordon Strachan called Bain into the Scotland national football team for the first time in May 2015, ahead of a friendly with Qatar and a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match with the Republic of Ireland the following month.[8]
