Celtic goalkeeper Scott Bain has commented on his future.
Celtic goalkeeper Scott Bain has told STV that he wants to stay with the club following his January loan move – and reports suggest Brendan Rodgers will grant him his wish.
The Bhoys were forced to scramble in January, as first-choice goalkeeper Craig Gordon suffered an injury late in the transfer window, leaving Rodgers needing a replacement.
A host of goalkeepers were linked with moves to Celtic Park, but the Bhoys eventually struck a deal to sign Bain on loan until the end of the season.
The Dundee stopper had signed for Hibernian earlier in the window, but Hibs allowed him to join Celtic with Bhoys midfielder Scott Allan heading to Easter Road, whilst Hibs sent striker Simon Murray on loan to Dundee in a strange triangular deal.
Bain started out as cover behind Dorus de Vries, but was called into action against Rangers in an Old Firm derby earlier this month, starting in the 3-2 win for Celtic at Ibrox.
The goalkeeper has now made two appearances for Celtic, and has told STV that he wants to stay at Celtic beyond the end of the season as he looks to earn a full-time deal with Rodgers’ men.
“I’ve enjoyed the fact that I’m here and that I’m at this great club,” said Bain. “I’ve loved every minute of being at this club and the fans have been fantastic with me since I’ve come here and played a few games. Because of the age I am at 26, it’s going to be a big move for me in terms of my career.”
“I would like it to be here because I think that this club has everything for me to improve and I’ve loved every minute of it. I’m just enjoying football again and I’d love it to be here,” he added.
With the Daily Mail reporting that Celtic and Rodgers have already earmarked Bain for a move to Celtic Park this summer, given that his Dundee contract expires, it seems that he will be granted his wish at the end of the season.
