Scott Bain, born on 22 November 1991, is a Scottish born goalkeeper currently plying his trade at Celtic. Standing tall at approximately 6ft (1.83m) and weighing in at around 11st (70kg), Bain certainly possesses all the physical attributes befitting a modern goalkeeper. He is readily identified on the pitch by his number 29 jersey.
Despite his talents, Bain's current market value stands relatively modest at around £170k as per Transfermarkt, and his contract with Celtic is anticipated to run its course on 31 May 2026.
Bain's initial spell in professional football began at Aberdeen, a club that he left for a loan spell at Elgin City in Scotland's League Two in August 2010. Impressively, he managed 11 first-team appearances in his debut season.
In July 2011, he transferred from Aberdeen to Alloa Athletic in Scotland's League One. Over his tenure spanning three seasons, he emerged as a fixture in the first team with a total of 100 league appearances.
His performances caught the eye of Dundee in the Premiership, leading to a transfer in July 2014. With Dundee, Bain truly cemented his reputation, making a robust 107 first team league appearances before transferring to Hibernian on loan in January 2018.
Following his brief stint at Hibs, he found his way back to the Premiership, securing a loan move to Celtic in that very same January 2018 window. Bain's initial spell at Celtic saw him making seven first team appearances in league matches during the remainder of the 2017 - 2018 season.
In a definitive move back in July 2018, Bain transferred permanently from Dundee to Celtic. Over the course of his time at Celtic, Bain has made varying contributions, from 20 appearances in the 2018-2019 season to only one appearance by the 2022-2023 season. In the ongoing 2024-2025 season, he has yet to debut in a first team match.
Through thick and thin, Bain's journey serves as a testament to his commitment and perseverance. His noteworthy journey to the top illustrates a career path embedded with passion and dedication, common traits among Celtic club stalwarts.
