Scott Bain, the quintessential custodian of the Celtic nets, was born on the 22nd of November, 1991, in the motherland of Scotland. At the age of 32, Bain stands at an imposing 6ft (1.83m) and weighs in at a sturdy 11st (70kg). He can be spotted on the pitch donning the number 29 jersey.
Skilled in his craft, Bain’s current market value is approximately £209k, a figure pointed out by the trusted Transfermarkt. As for his contract with Celtic, it’s set to expire on the 31st of May, 2026, giving him a good 1 year and 8 months to continue to impress the Celtic Park faithful.
Bain debuted in the grueling world of professional football back in August 2010, transferring from Aberdeen to Elgin City on loan. He swiftly found himself in the first team, making 11 appearances during the season.
In July 2011, Bain moved from Aberdeen to Alloa Athletic, where he would make 100 first-team appearances over the course of three seasons, each year packing more experience under his gloves.
July 2014 saw Bain moving from Alloa Athletic to Dundee, making a significant leap into the Premiership. Over four seasons with Dundee, Bain put in 107 appearances, showcasing his hard-grafting and dedicated spirit in the face of an ever-changing football landscape.
The turning point of Bain’s career, however, came in January 2018 when he was loaned to Hibernian and then subsequently to Celtic, the latter turning out to be a career-defining move.
His initial season in green and white hoops witnessed Bain making seven first-team appearances. The following season (2018 - 2019) saw increased trust in his capabilities, with Bain making 20 first-team appearances. His involvement saw a decrease in the subsequent season with only two appearances, but 2020 - 2021 proved to be a more fruitful year with 18 caps to his name. The following seasons saw Bain with relatively fewer appearances, yet a solid presence within the Celtic squad nonetheless.
In July 2018, Bain's move to Celtic became permanent, thus starting a journey which would see him continue to don the famous green and white of Celtic for many more seasons, holding the net with pride and solidifying his status as an essential squad member.
