Celtic Goalkeeper Scott Bain Quits Club Early
Celtic FC has confirmed that goalkeeper Scott Bain has left the club after more than seven years as a Celt. The 33-year-old Bain had one year remaining on his contract at Celtic Park, but he has chosen to leave the club early.
According to reporting by The Scottish Sun, Bain initially joined Celtic on loan from Dundee in January 2018 to provide cover after Craig Gordon was injured. He made his debut in a 3-2 Old Firm win over Rangers at Ibrox and went on to make seven appearances, with Celtic signing him permanently in the summer.
During his time at Celtic, Bain won seven league titles, four League Cups, and three Scottish Cups. However, in recent years, he has been third choice at Celtic, spending last season behind Kasper Schmeichel and Viljami Sinisalo in the pecking order. As reported by The Scottish Sun, Bain was also capped three times by Scotland between 2018 and 2019.
Bain signed a new three-year contract in the summer of 2023, but that deal has now been ended early. As The Scottish Sun previously reported, Celtic has already signed another goalkeeper, Ross Doohan, on a pre-contract deal from Aberdeen. Doohan, 27, will return to the Hoops having spent the first seven years of his senior career as a Celtic player.
In a statement, Celtic FC said: "Celtic FC can confirm that goalkeeper Scott Bain has left the club after more than seven years as a Celt! During his time at Paradise, Scott won seven league titles, four League Cups, and three Scottish Cups. Thank you for everything, Bainy."
Bain’s departure from Celtic brings an end to a successful seven-year stint at the club. As noted by The Scottish Sun, he played 31 times in all competitions as Celtic won the treble in one season, but he was otherwise restricted to a handful of appearances in each of his seasons.
The news of Bain’s departure will come as no surprise to fans, given the recent signing of Doohan. As The Scottish Sun reported, Doohan’s arrival likely signalled the end of Bain’s time at Celtic.
In conclusion, Scott Bain’s early exit from Celtic marks the end of an era for the goalkeeper, who has been an important member of the squad during his seven-year tenure. As reported by The Scottish Sun, his departure will undoubtedly have implications for the team’s goalkeeping lineup moving forward.
