Falkirk goalkeeper Scott Bain delivered a man-of-the-match performance in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Dundee United, keeping 27 shots at bay and earning praise from his manager and Dundee United's assistant boss as the new Scotland coach Sebastien Pocognoli prepares to name his first Nations League squad.
A Night of Defiance at Firhill
Bain kept the ball out of the net in half of his 78 games for Celtic prior to moving to Falkirk, and his form has continued to impress at Firhill. In the match against Dundee United, he faced 27 shots, nine of which were on target, and repelled every one until the late leveller. Bain has now played 44 games for Falkirk, keeping 10 clean sheets in the process.
The Dundee United players had plenty to curse after the game. Full-back Kevin Ciubotaru's shot seemed destined for the bottom right-hand corner before Bain intervened, and United debutant Lyall Cameron also watched in anguish as Bain denied him. Another new boy, Zidane Iqbal, arrowed a shot towards the top corner only for Bain to tip it away.
Praise from Both Sides of the Pitch
Falkirk manager John McGlynn was quick to sing his player's praises. "I thought he was terrific," McGlynn said of the 34-year-old, who has earned four caps over the past eight years. "If you're looking for a goalkeeper who can play from the back and still make saves and bring composure and calmness to your defence, then I think Scott ticks all the boxes. So I have no doubt that the manager will be looking at him."
Dundee United assistant manager Lee Sharp was also quick to praise Bain's contribution and agree that he's done his Scotland chances absolutely no harm whatsoever. "Absolutely," he said. "He had two or three really good saves in the second half." Bain's heroic display of defiance very nearly earned his side a first league win of the season, but for Michael Forbes' stoppage-time header.
Scotland's Goalkeeper Dilemma
With the retirement of Craig Gordon and the lack of recent first-team minutes for Liam Kelly, Bain could be the obvious answer to Sebastien Pocognoli's potential problem. Regular number one Angus Gunn has started every game since moving to Major League Soccer with San Jose Earthquakes, but is shipping plenty of goals. On the evidence of his display in the 1-1 draw against Dundee United, Bain will be very unlucky not to be recalled to the international fold.
Alex McLeish gave Bain his Scotland debut against Mexico in June 2018, after which he played a further three times for his country. His last cap came against Ivory Coast in a pre-World Cup friendly in March but he did not make the finals squad. Bain's stats at Dundee were pretty good too - 21 clean sheets in 124 games. On his current form, he'll have every right to hope there's a new lease of international life coming in Pocognoli's brave new vision for Scotland.
