Scott Bain, a Scot born on the 22nd of November 1991 and now 33 years of age, is a goalkeeper who defends the Celtic Football Club’s turf. He stands at 6ft (1.83m) tall and has a weight of 11st (70kg). Within the team, he is recognisable in the number 29 shirt. According to Transfermarkt, Bain's current market value is approximately £170,000, a modest sum in the frenetic world of football finance. His contract with Celtic runs until the 31st of May 2026, with one year and six months remaining.
Bain started his career at Aberdeen, a side competing in Scotland's Premiership. From there, he was loaned to Elgin City in League Two, making 11 first team appearances in league matches for the 2010 - 2011 season. In July 2011, he bid adieu to Aberdeen and moved permanently to Alloa Athletic where he made 35 first team appearances per season with remarkable consistency over a span of three seasons.
July 2014 saw Bain make another move, this time to Dundee Football Club. His contribution here was significant and consistent, with seasons seeing him make between 22 and 37 appearances in league matches. During the 2017 - 2018 season, he was loaned briefly to Hibernian before finally planting his feet firmly on Celtic turf.
Bain's loan to Celtic started with a solid seven appearance season in 2017 -2018, and he followed through with a respectable 20 appearances season in 2018 - 2019. Changes in management and playing style led to some fluctuations in Bain’s game time at Celtic, nonetheless, he stood strong in the Hoops with seasons seeing him make between one and 18 appearances in front of league crowds. As the current 2024 - 2025 season stands, he's yet to take to the field.
In July 2018, he sealed a permanent transfer from Dundee to Celtic. From then, his journey with Celtic has been quite the roller coaster ride, marred by irregular appearances. His best season was the 2018 - 2019 run where he set foot on the field 20 times. Since then, the seasonal tally ranged from a single appearance to 18, with the current season still waiting on his debut.
