'''Roy Adam McBain''' (born 7 November 1974) is a Scottish football player and coach who works at Turriff United in the Highland League as a player/assistant manager.
==Career== McBain began his career with Dundee United, making a single appearance early in the 1993–94 season. Released at the end of the season, McBain moved 'across the road' to First Division First Division neighbours Dundee, where he spent two seasons with the Dens Park side. In 1996, McBain moved to Third Division side Ross County, where he won promotion at the third attempt after finishing within a point of automatic promotion in his first two years at Dingwall. The title win in the 1998–99 season, saw McBain again narrowly miss out on promotion as Ross County finished two points outside of the promotion spots.
Nevertheless, McBain moved back to the First Division with Inverness Caledonian Thistle, tasting another championship and promotion in the 2003–04 season. A first-team regular with Inverness, McBain was given a new two-year contract in April 2005,<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/i/inverness_ct/4402549.stm|title=Inverness secure Dods and McBain|date=1 April 2005|work=BBC Sport|access-date=30 September 2008}}</ref> and another in late 2006.
