Last line of defence

Scott Bain v Joe Lewis

Brendan Rodgers’ confidence in his secondstring keeper is clear, given he is prepared to fulfil his promise to start him in all of this season’s ties in the competition.

And why not? Bain has already starred for the Hoops in an Old Firm derby.

At the other end, Lewis is a terrific shot-stopper, who his manager Derek Mcinnes insists he would not swap for any other in the division.
