Scott Bain, a Scottish-born goalkeeper, was born on 22nd November 1991. Now the ripe age of 33, he currently garners the number 29 jersey for Celtic Football Club. Standing at 6ft (1.83m) and weighing in at a sturdy 11st (70kg), his presence in the goal is formidable. As of now, according to Transfermarkt, his current market value sits at around a modest £170k, rounding from euros, and his contract with Celtic is set to run out on the 31st of May, 2026.
In the early days of his career, Bain was transferred from Aberdeen to Elgin City on loan in August 2010. Despite it being a brief spell, he made 11 appearances in the Elgin City first team in his debut season. In July 2011, Bain took another step in his journey by transferring to Alloa Athletic. Proving his worth, he made consistent first team appearances in each season with Alloa, rounding off his time there with a total of 100 league matches.
In July 2014, Bain relocated from Alloa Athletic to Dundee. He had a commendable tenure in Dundee, making a total of 107 first team appearances in league matches across four seasons, before moving on to Hibernian on loan in January 2018.
However, the real turning point in Bain’s career came later in January 2018 when he moved from Dundee to the prestigious Celtic Football Club, initially on loan. Bain's tenure with Celtic has seen its peaks and troughs. He has had seasons like 2018-2019, where he made 20 first team appearances in league matches, and also seasons, particularly recently, where he hasn’t made appearances in the first team. Regardless, it was at Celtic that Bain made a name for himself, definitively moving from Dundee to Celtic in July 2018.
Scott Bain's career has had its ups and downs, but his immense talent and passion for football cannot be denied. From his beginnings in Aberdeen, to his rise in Celtic, Bain remains an integral player with a promising future. Despite having no first team appearances in the current season (2024 - 2025), his significant role in Celtic's past victories remains imprinted. His oscillating career is a testament to his resilience and the unpredictable, yet exciting world of Scottish football.
