Scott Bain joined Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic on loan from Dundee in the January transfer window.
Scott Bain must have been overjoyed when he got the chance to play for Celtic, as he joined the Glasgow giants on loan from Dundee in the January transfer window.
Injury to first-choice goalkeeper Craig Gordon saw Celtic sign the former Aberdeen prospect on loan from Scottish Premiership rivals Dundee on January transfer deadline day.
Bain was expected to challenge Dorus de Vries for a first-team spot, but there is a distinct possibility that the 26-year-old will not get to make a single competitive appearance for the Hoops this season.
De Vries has played regularly since the injury to Gordon, who will return before the end of the season, and it is unlikely that Bain will get any playing tome thereafter.
True, there are cup games for the Hoops, but would Rodgers risk playing Bain despite his extensive experience of Scottish football given the knockout nature of those ties?
De Vries has not exactly had a great time at Celtic since his move in 2016 and has made mistakes, and maybe if the Dutchman makes more major errors, then 26-year-old Bain could be thrown into action.
