COMMENTARY
These Celtic fans were obviously left impressed by Bain’s performance between the sticks on Sunday, and who can blame them? The 26-year-old stopper was on top of his game against Livingston, who managed to threaten the Celtic goal on a regular basis at the Tony Macaroni Arena. Bain stood up to everything that was thrown at him, and pulled off a couple of impressive saves in the process for the Hoops. The best of the lot was a stunning reflex save from Declan Gallagher’s header after a corner, although a foul had actually been committed just before the stop. The former Dundee stopper has had to bide his time this season after his permanent move in the summer, with Craig Gordon restored to being first-choice stopper after his injury last term. However, with Gordon getting on a bit and Bain in such good form, it could be sooner rather than later that we see the 26-year-old take over the reins on a more permanent basis.
I really like Scott Bain, has looked good every time he's played for us

Offside but still, that is an unbelievable save from Bain.
