Celtic confirm Scott Bain's departure as Rodgers pays classy tribute

Celtic have officially confirmed the departure of Scott Bain. 

The goalkeeper leaves the Parkhead club after a seven-and-a-half-year stay in which he won six Scottish Premiership titles, five Scottish Cups and four Scottish League Cups. 

"I am really sad, of course, to be leaving the club but I am so thankful, too, for everything the club has given me," Bain told celticfc.com.

"I have enjoyed my time at Celtic massively and it has been a huge honour to be part of the biggest and best club in the country.

"I would like to thank the Gaffer and all the other managers I’ve worked with, my many team-mates over the years and all the staff at Celtic. 

"I’ve made some great friends at Celtic and will always be supporting the club in everything it does. 

"The Celtic fans are the best around and I thank them for all the support I have been given by them too.

"I wish the club and our supporters nothing but success for the future."

The 33-year-old ended up making 78 appearances in green and white after joining Celtic, initially on loan, from Dundee in January of 2018. 

Manager Brendan Rodgers paid tribute to the departing Bain: "Scott has given everything to Celtic and I would like to thank him sincerely for his time at the club," he said. 

"He has been a valued member of the squad and a great team-mate, really liked and respected by us all.

"Everyone at the club wishes Scott and his family all the very best for the future."
