SCOTT BAIN this afternoon signed a four year contract that will keep him at Celtic until the summer of 2022.
The player joined Celtic on loan in January and made a dramatic debut on Beautiful Sunday – as exclusively revealed on The Celtic Star.
The 26 year old former Dundee keeper had an outstanding game and has been reliable and impressive every time he has been called upon since that dramatic 3-2 win at Ibrox.
Speaking to Celtic TV Bain said: “I’m delighted. It’s more than I obviously expected when I first came in. I’m over the moon.
“I don’t think it could have gone any better. It’s funny, there’s a lot of little things that went my way to get to Celtic on loan and then to play the game against Rangers, which sent me on my way to this four-year-deal. It’s been great and I’ve loved every minute of it.”
Bain realises the significance of his impressive showing at Ibrox on Beautiful Sunday.
“That game showed the manager everything he needed to know. He said after the game that it’s one of the biggest games to play and it really showed him my mentality and that I could handle being a Celtic player.
“There are no small games and there are no easy games here. Everyone ups their game to play Celtic and you need to be on it 100 per cent of the time, in games and training.
“I’ve settled in well with all the boys in the changing room and they’ve made it really easy for me. It’s a great changing room to be in and a great club to be at.
“When you’re not involved you know Celtic’s a big club but it’s not until you’re here that you fully realise the magnitude of it all and how many people have your eye on you.
“I have the same aims that I’ve had since I arrived here which is to improve as much as I can on a daily basis.
“I have all the facilities here, the manager, the staff, the goalkeeping coaches like Woodsy, to reach my full potential. The sky is really the limit. It’s about working hard and putting my all into this club.”
A great piece of business for Celtic and a dream come true from the guy who has become a Celtic Star via the building sites of Alloa – read HERE. You’ll note that this was published on the day before he made his surprise debut at Ibrox.
