Scott Tanser

Scott Tanser of Falkirk was born in Blackpool, England on 23 October 1994 (age 31).

Scott Tanser, born on 23 October 1994 (age 31), is an English left-back with Falkirk, where he wears the number 17 shirt. He is a familiar enough figure in Scottish football: steady on the left side, useful when he gets forward, and not a player who needs much dressing up.

His strongest attacking league season came at St Johnstone in 2018-19, when he scored three goals in 37 appearances. For a full-back, that was a decent return, and it fits the general shape of his career: regular, practical, and capable of contributing in the final third without making a production of it.

By 2026-27 he was at Falkirk. He has made two league appearances, three in the League Cup, where he scored once, and three in the Scottish Cup, giving him eight appearances and one goal for the club across all competitions.
