Scott Bain, born 22 November 1991 in Scotland, serves as the stalwart goalkeeper for Celtic Football Club. Standing at a formidable 6ft (1.83m) and weighing in at 11 stone (70kg), he dons the number 29 jersey for the Bhoys.
With an estimated market value of around £170k, according to Transfermarkt, Bain's current contract at Celtic, with a remaining 1 year and 5 months, is set to run its course until 31 May 2026.
In August of 2010, Bain cut his goalkeeping teeth on loan at Elgin City from Aberdeen, making 11 first-team appearances in his debut season. The following year, Bain traded Aberdeen for Alloa Athletic where he played a total of 100 games, across three seasons.
In the summer of 2014, Bain upgraded to Dundee in the Premiership, making a healthy 107 appearances over his four-and-a-half-year stay. A brief loan stint at Hibernian in January 2018 was quickly followed by another loan, this time to Celtic, marking the beginning of his journey with the Glasgow giants.
After amassing seven appearances while on loan in the latter half of the 2017/18 season, Bain permanently transferred from Dundee to Celtic in July 2018. His first full season, 2018/19, saw him make a solid contribution with 20 league appearances.
In more recent years, Bain's active participation at Celtic has been more limited. While the 2020/21 season saw him play 18 league matches, his presence in subsequent years dwindled, with two games played in the 2021/22 season, one in the 2022/23 season, and three in the 2023/24 season. Unfortunately, the current 2024/25 season, thus far, has seen no appearances from the shot-stopper.
Despite a choppier engagement with the top team in recent seasons, Bain's distinguished career and lengthy commitment to Celtic, the team he has now spent more than 7 years with, paints a compelling picture of his dedication to the beautiful game.
