Celtic have confirmed the departure of third-choice goalkeeper Scott Bain.

The 33-year-old joined the Hoops from Dundee in 2018 and has made 78 first-team appearances.

Bain made his debut in a 3-2 win over Rangers at Ibrox and was part of the squad that won seven of the last eight league titles, but game time has been limited in recent years.

He never made a single appearance in the season that’s just finished, with Kasper Schmeichel and Viljami Sinisalo both preferred ahead of him, as Brendan Rodgers’ side won a Premiership and League Cup double.

In the 2018/19 season, he played 31 times across all competitions as the club clinched a treble-treble.

Celtic confirmed his departure on Thursday.

A statement released on social media said: “We can confirm that goalkeeper Scott Bain has left the club after more than seven years as a Celt!

“During his time at Paradise, Scott won seven league titles, four League Cups, and three Scottish Cups.

“Thank you for everything, Bainy.”
