Scott Bain, the Falkirk goalkeeper, was assured by Scotland manager Steve Clarke of his return to the national squad after missing the World Cup. Bain, who had been left out of the squad, was told he would be part of the team’s future plans. However, Clarke has since stepped down as national team boss, leaving Bain in an uncertain position. The decision comes after Bain’s predecessor, Sebastien Pocognoli, left his role, raising questions about the stability of the coaching staff. Bain’s future with the national team remains unclear as the new manager takes charge. The transition marks a significant moment for Scottish football, with expectations high for the new leadership.
