Exclusive: Falkirk agree Scott Bain deal after early Celtic exit
Scott Bain has agreed a deal to join Scottish Premiership new boys Falkirk after confirming his Celtic exit in recent days, sources have told Football Insider.
The 33-year-old is set to put pen to paper on a one-year deal at the promoted club.
Bain ended his seven-and-a-half-year association with Celtic last week (31 May), confirming he would quit despite having 12 months to run on his contract.
He originally joined on loan from Dundee in January 2018 before making his Parkhead switch permanent later that year.
Bain agrees new move after early Celtic exit
Bain – who has played in Scotland’s top four divisions – turned out 78 times across all competitions for Celtic, notching 40 clean sheets and conceding 66 goals.
He won seven Scottish Premiership titles, four Scottish League Cups and five Scottish Cups during his time with the Glasgow giants.

The shot-stopper, who has not played for over a year, also turned out for the Hoops in European competition.
Manager Brendan Rodgers insisted: “He [Bain] has been a valued member of the squad and a great team-mate, really liked and respected by us all.
Falkirk will play in the top flight of Scottish football in the 2025-26 campaign after winning the Scottish Championship.
Celtic brace for Kuhn bids
Meanwhile, Football Insider has revealed (20 May) that Celtic are bracing for interest and bids for star man Nicolas Kuhn this summer.
The Hoops have a recent history of completing big summer sales with Jota and Matt O’Riley sealing exits in back-to-back years.
Kuhn is not the only Hoops star attracting interest, with Daizen Maeda also wanted by West Ham and Leeds in the Premier League.
