Celtic Confirm Goalkeeper Scott Bain Departure After Seven Years

Celtic have confirmed the departure of goalkeeper Scott Bain after more than seven years at the club, during which he won seven league titles, four League Cups, and three Scottish Cups. Bain, 33, joined Celtic from Dundee in 2018 and made 78 appearances for the team but did not play in the most recent season as he was behind Kasper Schmeichel and Viljami Sinisalo in the pecking order. Despite having a year left on his contract, Celtic allowed Bain to leave on a free transfer so he could pursue regular first-team football elsewhere. Bain expressed sadness at leaving but gratitude for his time at Celtic, praising the club, managers, teammates, and fans. Manager Brendan Rodgers thanked Bain for his dedication and contributions, highlighting his role as a valued squad member. Celtic have lined up Ross Doohan, a former Celtic goalkeeper currently at Aberdeen, as Bain's replacement on a free transfer.
