The beginning of his career saw Bain on loan from Aberdeen to Elgin City in the 2010/2011 season, where he made 11 appearances. The following season, he transferred to Alloa Athletic where he quickly established his value, making over 100 appearances across three seasons. Dundee secured his services in 2014, and Bain became a key figure in the side, making well over 100 appearances in his time there. A short loan spell at Hibernian came in January 2018.
In January 2018, Bain initially joined Celtic on loan, where he made seven first-team appearances in the remainder of the 2017/2018 season. In July of that same year, Bain's move to Celtic became permanent. During the 2018 - 2019 season, Bain made a strong showing with 20 first team appearances, which was followed by a challenging period of reduced play over the following seasons. As of the current 2024 - 2025 season, Bain has not made any first team appearances in league matches. Yet his presence as an experienced keeper within the squad remains invaluable.
The trials and tribulations Bain faced during his career manifest his perseverance, having shown at numerous clubs his capability between the sticks.
