Falkirk goalkeeper Scott Bain may be moving closer to a recall to the Scotland national team under new head coach Sebastien Pocognoli, following a standout performance in a 1-1 draw against Dundee United. Pocognoli is preparing to name his first squad for the upcoming Nations League matches, and with key goalkeepers Craig Gordon and Angus Gunn out of the picture, and Liam Kelly lacking recent game time, Bain is emerging as a potential candidate to fill the void. Bain made a significant impact in the match against Dundee United, making eight crucial saves, many of which were described as exceptional. His performance included strong distribution from the back and composure under pressure, leading his manager, John McGlynn, to praise him highly. McGlynn said, "I thought he was terrific," and noted that Bain meets all the requirements for a modern goalkeeper—capable of playing from the back and providing calmness to the defense. The performance frustrated several Dundee United players, including full-back Kevin Ciubotaru, debutant Lyall Cameron, and new signing Zidane Iqbal, all of whom were denied by Bain. The goalkeeper also stopped a shot from Neil Farrugia. Falkirk had a strong chance to secure their first league win of the season, but a stoppage-time header by Michael Forbes equalized the match, keeping the game level. Bain's performance came after a costly error at Celtic Park last weekend, but he quickly bounced back with a strong display against Dundee United. United's assistant manager, Lee Sharp, acknowledged Bain's efforts, saying he has "done his Scotland chances absolutely no harm whatsoever." Falkirk faced 27 shots during the match, nine of which were on target, all of which Bain successfully repelled until the late equalizer. With 44 appearances for Falkirk and 10 clean sheets, Bain has shown consistent form, and his prior record at Celtic—where he kept 10 clean sheets in 78 games—further supports his credentials. Bain made his Scotland debut under Alex McLeish in 2018, earning three caps before his last appearance in a pre-World Cup friendly against Ivory Coast in March. Although he didn't make the final World Cup squad, his recent performance could signal a new opportunity for international recognition under Pocognoli's new approach for Scotland.
