So CG plays tomorrow night because SB can't play against parent club, well I hope Bain gets the gloves back for the weekend
The boy has not put a foot wrong in my eyes.

Bain is also Cup Tied for the Semi. IMO Gordon will be in Goal for the next few games.
As Henry is also Cup Tied I can see Ajer and Jozo playing as the Central Defence pairing. I don't think we'll play a back 3 against Sevco.
Then again I'm not the Manager, any thoughts folks?
{Ed007's Note - Bain isn't cup-tied. I thought that too until the other week but I'm certain it was reported he was when we signed him. He was on the bench for Hibs tie with Hearts - the current rules state a player has to take the field in a game to become cup-tied - and our bench for the Partick and Morton ties.}

J7 give him the gloves back he’s not put a foot wrong! I love a wee mixed metaphor brother. I remember reading an article 20 odd years ago it might have been in the Daily Rager which I wouldn’t wipe my proverbial with now that said ‘Somewhere down the road Celtic’s ship went off the rails’. 😂 Agree totally and I’m a minority CG fan SB has been excellent as has the young laddie Hendry. ðŸ‘☘ï¸.

Ed, that’s great news about Bain. I’ve been impressed with his performances so far. Let’s hope we’ve found a gem but he’ll need to play a lot more games before we’ll really know if this is the case.
{Ed007's Note - Bain's proven that he's at least a capable No.2 for us. I'll be happy if we can get him on a free but I'd still like a new No.1 to come in.}

I like what I've seen of him so far but I would like to see a bit more of him before deciding if he is good enough to be the number 1.
I don't know what his situation was but if he wasn't holding down a first team spot at Dundee or Hibs then he must have some weaknesses in his game.
{Ed007's Note - Bain had a major falling out with Neil McCann and was suspended by Dundee, up until then he was their No.1 and he only joined Hibs on the 1st of January basically to get away from McCann. I've said for a few years that he was a good 'keeper but like you I'm not convinced he's ready to be our No.1, especially when it comes to Europe.}

Could be wrong but I think I remember reading it was a contract dispute. Dundee wanted Bain to sign a extension but he intended to let his contract run down so McCann decided to let him rot on the bench.
{Ed007's Note - He never even made their bench, Kev, he was officially suspended by Dundee. He was fined for something that happened after Dundee's 3-1 loss to Accies and refused to pay it and as far as I know the PFA are still appealing the fine.}

Let’s not get carried away with Bain as a number 1 or as second choice. I am no CG fan or De Vries fan but Bain for me is not the solution. No better than CG, so don’t mind what one of them is number 2, just need a much better first choice keeper. Neither are that.

I think BR would not have any of the those keepers in the team if he did not rate them and it give's him an the option to rotate and learn from each other.
I think we should give the keepers more credit than we do, as they where involved in the teams unbeaten run/ titles/ cups as well, they kept goal through the CL/ CL.
Bain and the young keeper out on loan are the future if they can cut it. IMO i would like to buy a keeper and i know they are not cheap.
Anyone got stats on goals conceded while the 2 main keepers have been at Celtic. I don't know if that means they are good or the team was good protecting them. hai hail.

he was on the bench against morton.
