Watch the Interview – ‘It might actually have been the best we’ve played all season,’ Scott Bain

WATCH SCOTT BAIN post match interview and there’s no apology, just sheer admiration for the background noise you will hear!

Before that though a nice wee message from former Aberdeen goalkeeper Jamie Langfield who this evening on social media praised the Celtic keeper and the goalkeeping department at Celtic.

“Scott Bain was once my boot boy, now performing heroics on European stage. Unbelievable work Stevie Woods has done with him and a great goalkeeping department they have at Celtic.”

Here’s the post match interview with Scott Bain and there are a few of his best moments at the bottom…

“We’re obviously disappointed with the way the game went tonight but for the first 35 minutes until the sending off we were excellent and that is a testimony to the character, bravery and quality of the players,” Bain said.

“When the sending off happens you see the resilience and the togetherness in the camp. We pulled together and see it to half time and go from there. Obviously you could see that the lads tired at the end because they had put so much into the game.”

On his own performance Bain was pleased with the saves he made and that he has been able to play at this level, insisting that he is always learning.

“I’m please at how I handled tonight. I think I’ve learned from the first leg already so I’m always learning. It was amazing to play at this level and at this stadium but obviously it wasn’t the result we wanted.

We can compete at this level, it’s just moments of concentration that has let us down, but in terms pos quality and bravery we can play at this level,” Bain concluded.

In a separate interview Bain continued along the same lines, proud of his teammates and a little frustrated that basic errors cost us dearly.

“Even though we’re disappointed and frustrated with the result, we can be proud of ourselves.

“We were the better team for the 30 minutes before Jeremy Toljan’s sending off. We controlled the game up till then. Because of how well we were doing, it was even more of a blow to see Jeremy go – especially as the red card was very soft.

“So that was a setback at that time, but we didn’t fold or drop our heads. We pulled together with ten men and came back strong again.

“So, yes, can be proud and we have learned a lot from the two games. Obviously, we need to better again in the future, but we showed we are more than capable at this level.

“It might actually have been the best we have played all season and it was really good to watch.

“That’s why in the end it was sad because, had we come away with a 0-0 given the way we played, it would have been deserved and that was the disappointing part.

“We continued to play from the back when it was on, continued to be brave even when we were down to 10 men.

“It was a tough stadium and a tough place to play, but the pitch was sensational and like a bowling green and we moved it quickly on the surface.

“We always believe in our ability and qulaity and we don’t listen to outside noise. We’re confident and brave enough to take the ball in tight situations.”
