Scott Tanser, born on 23 October 1994 (age 31), is an English left-back with Falkirk, where he wears squad number 17. His career has been built more on steady first-team use than noise, which is rarely the worst foundation for a full-back.
His most productive league season came at St Johnstone in 2018–19, when he scored three goals in 37 appearances. That was the sort of return that suggests a defender trusted to get forward often enough, without pretending he was suddenly a winger in disguise.
At Falkirk in 2025–26, Tanser has remained a regular part of the side. He has made 22 league appearances and scored one league goal, along with two League Cup appearances and three in the Scottish Cup, taking him to 27 appearances and one goal across all competitions.
Tanser’s career is that of an established left-back who has kept himself relevant through regular football, with St Johnstone providing his strongest scoring season and Falkirk now giving him an important first-team role.
