His football career started with a loan transfer from Aberdeen to Elgin City, a League Two team, back in August 2010. Bain managed to get some first-hand match experience during his debut season(2010-2011) with 11 league appearances. Following year, in July 2011, Bain was once again transferred from Aberdeen to Alloa Athletic, a League One team. Bain spent three seasons(2011-2014) with Alloa Athletic exhibiting a consistent streak of appearances that summed up to 100 league matches.

In July 2014, Bain made a move to the Premiership league joining Dundee. He made a total of 107 first team appearances spanning across four seasons(2014-2018) with Dundee. His stint with Dundee was paused in January 2018 when he was loaned to another Premiership league team, Hibernian. However, the same month saw Bain being loaned to yet another Premiership giant, Celtic – the club where he plays to this date.

His initial loan period to Celtic, during the season 2017-2018, saw Bain making seven first team appearances. Later, in July 2018, Bain's transfer was made permanent as he switched from Dundee to continue his journey with Celtic. In each successive season at Celtic—2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024—Bain had 20, 2, 18, 2, 1, and 3 first team appearances, respectively. Bain has yet to make an appearance in the league games for the current season(2024-2025).

As a diligent custodian of the goal, Bain has demonstrated a commendable resolve and commitment throughout his professional football career. His contributions to Celtic, spreading over multiple seasons, are noteworthy and appreciated by fans and football enthusiasts alike.
