Falkirk have since moved quickly to secure his services and confirmed his signing this afternoon.
"It’s great to be here," Bain told falkirkfc.co.uk after putting pen to paper on a one-year deal.
"The club is very well run and it’s a really great set-up. It’s full of good people, and that’s a part of the reason I wanted to come here.
"I think I can come in and help a bit in terms of experience with the league and with the team’s style of play. I’m really looking forward to working with the squad and the management team. The boys have done an incredible job over the last two years and hopefully I can help this season to be an other successful one for the club and the fans."
Assistant manager Paul Smith weighed in on the signing, revealing Bain had offers from elsewhere.
He said: "We’re delighted Scott has joined us here at Falkirk after he chose to come to the club over various other offers both north and south of the border.
"He is a goalkeeper who comes to us after seven years at Celtic, and in that time he has played in massive European games, Scottish international matches, and at the highest level in Scotland, so he comes to the club with a wealth of experience.
"He is really good with the ball at his feet, and his style of play perfectly suits the play-style and ethos that we have at Falkirk. He’ll fit in really well with Nicky, Jamie, and Owen, and I’m sure all three will learn from the vast experience that Scott has. We look forward to working with him in the coming season."
