Scott Bain, born on the 22nd of November 1991 in Scotland, is the custodian of the goal for Celtic Football Club, standing tall at 6ft (1.83m) and weighing in at 11st (70kg), sporting the number 29 on the back of his jersey.

Bain's current market value circles around a modest £170k, as per the data provided by the folks at Transfermarkt. The goalkeeper has a bit more than a year left on his contract, which is set to run out on the 31st of May, 2026.

His career took flight back in August 2010, when he was loaned out from Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership to Elgin City in League Two. A testing debut season saw Bain make 11 first-team appearances. But this tough initial season hardened the Scot, preparing him for future challenges.

July 2011 marked a significant step in Bain's career, as he transferred to Alloa Athletic in Scottish League One from Aberdeen. His tenure with Alloa Athletic was marked by consistent performances with him making 30, 35, and another 35 first team appearances in the league over three consecutive seasons between 2011 and 2014.

Not long afterwards, he moved to Dundee in the Premiership in July 2014. Four consistent seasons with impressive numbers followed, with Bain making between 22 to 37 first-team appearances each term, solidifying his position in the Scottish top-flight.

Before his eventual switch to Celtic, Bain had brief stints with Hibernian and then Celtic on loan in January 2018. However, his definitive move to Celtic began in July 2018, and it has proven to be quite an eventful one.

Since his full switch, Bain had an unstable start with the club, making only seven appearances in his first season (2017-2018). He, however, experienced a substantial breakthrough the following season with 20 appearances. Numbers then fluctuated over the subsequent seasons, with Bain anything between two to 18 appearances a season between 2019-2024. Unfortunately, he's yet to make an appearance for Celtic in the current 2024-2025 season.

In summary, Bain's career at Celtic has been marked by variable playtime but no question of his unwavering commitment to the club throughout. It will be interesting to see how the remaining stint of his contract unfolds for this steadfast goalkeeper.
