Scotland internationalist seeks regular game time.
Celtic have confirmed that custodian Scott Bain has left the club after over seven years at Parkhead.
Bain joined Celtic in January 2018 and while playing largely as a back-up to a number of other keepers, he has landed 14 titles in all during his tenure in the east end of Glasgow.
Bain, who has three caps for Scotland, is said to want regular first-team football but will not get it at Celtic since he is behind Kasper Schmeichel and Viljami Sinisalo in the pecking order.
Bain had one more year on his deal, but Celtic chose to cut it short and let him leave for free.
Celtic announced on social media that custodian Scott Bain had departed the club after more than seven years. Scott won seven league titles, four League Cups, and three Scottish Cups with Paradise. “Thank you for everything, Bainy.”
Bain’s replacement is lined up.
Bain began his career at Aberdeen before joining Alloa Athletic in 2011 for his first spell at No. 1. He impressed for the Wasps, earning a move to Dundee in 2014, where he made more than 100 appearances over four seasons. A loan move to Hibs was cut short in 2018 when Celtic expressed interest, and his transfer was completed permanent that summer.
Bain made 78 appearances for Celtic in total, but did not appear at all in the 2024/25 season. Celtic have already lined up a replacement for Bain, with Aberdeen’s Ross Doohan likely to sign a pre-contract.
The 27-year-old began his career at Parkhead and is poised to go on a free transfer next month.
