  "account": "Scotland's new head coach Sebastien Pocognoli is reportedly considering Falkirk goalkeeper Scott Bain for the upcoming Nations League games. Bain's impressive performance in the 1-1 draw against Dundee United on Saturday has caught the attention of many, including his manager John McGlynn. Bain, who has earned four caps for Scotland over the past eight years, showcased his skills with eight excellent saves and a composed distribution during the match. United's assistant manager Lee Sharp even went as far as to say that Bain's contribution was \"absolutely\" beneficial for his chances in the Scotland team. With the retirement of Craig Gordon and limited first-team minutes for Angus Gunn and Liam Kelly, Bain's form could make him the obvious choice for Pocognoli's potential squad.",
