Scott Bain has featured in Celtic’s last two matches.

Craig Gordon of Celtic looks on after conceding a goal during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Rangers and Celtic at Ibrox Stadium on December 29, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed to The Scottish Sun his recent chat with goalkeeper Craig Gordon.

Gordon is the first-choice goalkeeper at Celtic at the moment and is one of the best in his position in the Scottish Premiership.

The 36-year-old former Sunderland goalkeeper, though, was on the substitutes’ bench for the Hoops’ last two games against Airdrieonians and St Mirren.

According to The Scottish Sun, Gordon will be on the bench again this afternoon when Celtic take on Hamilton Academical at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership, with Scott Bain set to start in his place.

Celtic boss Rodgers has disclosed the chat he has had with Gordon regarding his current situation in the team.

Brendan Rodgers, manager of Celtic, applauds the fans before the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Celtic and St Mirren at Celtic Park on January 23, 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Rodgers told The Scottish Sun: “I spoke to Craig. That’s respect. We talked at length and I will always communicate with my players.

“It always stabilises any emotion and what they think. I was clear with Craig on what I was doing.”

Open conversation

Bain is a good goalkeeper, and it must be great for the 27-year-old Scotland international that he is getting chances now.

The former Dundee star is doing well at the moment, and based on his performances in the last two games, he doe not deserve to be dropped.
