Falkirk's Bain hails 'best moment' of his career as Scots qualify for World Cup

Falkirk goalkeeper Scott Bain says being a "tiny" part of the Scotland squad that secured their place at next summer's World Cup is his "best moment in football."

Bain was an unused substitute as Steve Clarke's side defeated Denmark 4-2 at Hampden on Tuesday to finish top of their qualification group, ensuring the Scots will contest the finals for the first time in nearly 30 years.

"I have been involved in a lot of big moments, I have played in a lot of big games and won cup finals and it was without a doubt the best moment in football I have ever been involved in," the former Celtic goalkeeper said.

"I think from the national anthem to the game was unbelievable and Kenny McLean's goal at the end to finish it off was just the icing on the cake.

"We all just went mental really and it was amazing to be a part of."

After winning the last of his three caps in 2019, Bain was recalled for the qualification double header with the Danes and Greece.

However veteran Hearts keeper Craig Gordon was given the starting berth for the two games.

"It wasn't disappointing [to not play]," he added.

"I knew whatever my role was going to be when I went there that I would do it to the best of my ability and I believe I did.

"I am just glad we managed to do it and get there . I played a tiny part in that qualification and to be a part of it was one of the best moments of my career."
