Born on 22 November 1991, the Scottish goalkeeper, Scott Bain, who is currently 33 years of age, holds the number 29 jersey at Celtic Football Club. At 6ft (1.83m) tall and weighing in at 11st (70kg), he presents a formidable opposition for attacking players.
As per the data provided by Transfermarkt, his current market value roughly translates to ยฃ170,000. He remains contracted with Celtic through to 31 May 2026, having spent more than 1 year and 3 months with the club.
Bain's journey as a professional footballer began in August 2010 with a loan move from Aberdeen, then a Scottish Premiership side, to Elgin City in League Two. He made 11 appearances for the side in his debut season 2010-2011. The following season saw him move from Aberdeen to Alloa Athletic in Scotland's League One making 30, 35 and 35 appearances in consecutive seasons, 2011-2012 through 2013-2014 respectively.
In July 2014, he transferred again, this time to Dundee in the Premiership. Here, over the next three and a half seasons from 2014-2015 through 2017-2018, he made a total of 107 appearances. A brief spell on loan to Hibernian in January 2018 followed.
It was also in January 2018 that we welcomed him to Celtic initially on loan from Dundee. Proving his mettle between the posts, we made his transfer permanent in July. Since then, the details of his first team appearances in league matches from season 2017-2018 to the current season of 2024-2025 have been notably varied. From playing seven matches in his premiere season (2017-2018) with the Hoops to, perhaps his most active, the 2018-2019 season with 20 first team appearances. The following seasons witnessed a decline in appearances with two in 2019-2020, 18 in 2020-2021, two again in 2021-2022, one in 2022-2023, three in 2023-2024, and marked by no appearances in the current season 2024-2025 so far.
Notwithstanding fluctuating performances, Bainโs presence in the squad has been a testament to his resilience and ability to adapt, marking him a stalwart figure in the Celtic side for more than half a decade now.
