Celtic star 'cheerleader' role earns pundit verdict as he issues 'keeps standards high' reminder

Celtic star Scott Bain has been asked if he is happy to adopt a 'cheerleader' role at Celtic Park by a former Rangers defender.

The Scottish stopper is the de facto number three option at Parkhead in between the sticks, with experienced Joe Hart being the first name on the Hoops' team-sheet every week. The 35-year-old has made 42 appearances for Ange Postecoglou's men this season and has kept 17 clean sheets as Celtic edge towards the title.

Postecoglou recruited former Dundee United keeper Benjamin Siegrist to bolster cover, but the Swiss has managed just two starts in the Viaplay Cup this season and has featured in 2023. Meanwhile Bain's last appearance for Celtic came in December 2021 in a 0-0 draw with St Mirren as he has made just two appearances since Postecoglou's arrival almost two years ago.
