Scott Bain, born on the 22nd of November 1991 and raised in Scotland, currently assumes the position of goalkeeper for Celtic Football Club. Standing tall at 6 feet (1.83 meters) and tipping the scales at an athletic 11 stone (70kg), his Sentinel-like figure can often be seen clad in his ceremonial number 29 jersey.

For those interested in the fiscal side of football, Transfermarkt rates Bain's market value at a modest £170k. As far as his contract is concerned, it's locked down until the 31st May 2026, giving him a commitment of just over one year and four months left.

Since Bain's career commenced, he's played for various clubs within different leagues of Scotland. His first significant transfer happened in August 2010. At the time, Bain left the Premiership team Aberdeen to join Elgin City on loan where he made 11 first team appearances in the 2010/2011 season.

July 2011 saw Bain begin his athletic pilgrimage from Aberdeen again, moving this time to Alloa Athletic. Here, Bain displayed his prowess as a goalie over three seasons, making a total of 100 league appearances for the team in League One.

He transferred again in July 2014, this time moving up to Dundee in the Scottish Premiership. Bain's tenure at Dundee was born out of resilience, dedication and undoubtedly talent. Over four seasons, this stalwart made an appreciable total of 107 league appearances.

Scott Bain's journey eventually led him to the mighty Celtic Football Club in January 2018. Initially joining the club on loan, Bain made seven first-team appearances during this trial season.

In July 2018, Bain became a more permanent fixture at Celtic, with his performance cementing his place amongst his fellow Celts. Over seven seasons, Bain earned his shirt, making an overall total of 53 appearances for the top-side Celtic. The 2024-2025 season, however, hasn't seen him make any appearances yet.

This humble enumeration of numbers, of course, can't fully encapsulate Bain's contribution to the beautiful game. Romance aside, it's a testament to his undeniable passion, love for the club, and commitment to the sport.
