Born on 22nd November 1991 and hailing from Scotland, goalkeeper Scott Bain wears jersey number 29 for his current club Celtic FC. Standing at a height of 6 foot (1.83 metres) and weighing 11 stone (70 kilograms), his skill and precision contribute to his standing in the game. The market value of Bain currently rounds about ยฃ170,000, as cited by Transfermarkt; his ongoing contract with Celtic is due to run its course on 31st May 2026.

Bain's footie career path is marked by several significant transfers. In August 2010, Bain transitioned from Aberdeen in the Premiership to Elgin City in League Two of Scottish football on a loan. Here at his debut season of 2010 - 2011, Bain graced the field in 11 league matches. On the closure of that season, in July 2011, Bain meandered from Aberdeen to Alloa Athletic in the League One of Scotland where he showed up on the pitch in 30 league matches in that season, followed by 35 appearances each in the 2012 - 2013 and 2013 - 2014 seasons.

In July 2014, a shift in Bain's career track saw him transfer from Alloa Athletic in League One to Dundee in the Scottish Premiership. In the course of his tenure at Dundee across the 2014 - 2018 period, Bain made appearances exceeding 20 in 4 out of 5 seasons, the maximum being 37 in 2015 - 2016 season. Then in January 2018, Bain made a brief sojourn to Hibernian on loan.

In January 2018, Bain's voyage in Scottish football led him to the doorstep of Celtic, initially on a loan from Dundee. This stint was marked by Bain featuring in 7 league matches in the 2017 - 2018 season, a figure which rose to 20 in the 2018 - 2019 season. A decrease to 2 appearances followed in the 2019 - 2020 season, but rebounded to 18 in the subsequent year. The 2021 - 2022 and 2022 - 2023 seasons saw Bain make 2 and 1 appearances respectively, followed by 3 in the season afterwards. Bain, however, has yet to make an appearance in the current 2024 - 2025 season.

Bain's loan to Celtic did translate to a permanent shift in July 2018 from Dundee. His journey with Celtic has been a mix of highs and lows in terms of first team appearances. Alongside the 7 he made after his initial loan move, there have been a number of fluctuating seasons in terms of appearances, with 20 being the peak in 2018 - 2019 season and zero the valley in the ongoing 2024 - 2025 season. However, a Celt through and through, Bain is a valued member of the Hoops.
