Logan Bailly (born 27 December 1985 in Liège) is a Belgian professional footballer who currently plays as a goalkeeper for Scottish Premiership club Celtic. Having started his career at Genk, Bailly has had spells at German Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach and Belgian Pro League side Oud-Heverlee Leuven. A former Belgium international, Bailly joined Celtic in July 2015.

Career

Bailly began his senior career at Genk in 2002 but was loaned out to Beringen-Heusden-Zolder for the duration of the 2003–04 season, along with ten other Genk players.[1] Bailly replaced Jan Moons as Genk's first-choice goalkeeper at the beginning of the 2006–07 season; he played 90 minutes in every single Belgian League match for the club that season. He kept 14 clean sheets and received no bookings.[2] His good performance contributed to Genk's surprising second-place finish.

He joined Borussia Mönchengladbach during the winter of season 2008–09 and immediately adapted to the Bundesliga. He was elected best player of gameday 20 in the league.[3]

During the 2011–12 season he was initially loaned out to Swiss side Neuchâtel Xamax, for whom he never played a single match.[4] In the second part of the season, he was loaned back to Genk. After the season he returned to Mönchengladbach where his contract was not renewed, allowing him to sign as a free agent player for OH Leuven. At OHL, he was rejoined with coach Ronny Van Geneugden, who was his coach during his period as a youth player at Genk. After a series of good performances, Bailly was rewarded on 2 December with a one year extension, giving him a contract until the end of the 2013–14 season.[5]

In July 2015, Bailly moved to Scottish club Celtic for an undisclosed transfer fee.[6][7] He made his debut on 18 July 2015 in a pre-season friendly against SD Eibar and saved a penalty kick from Dani Nieto during a 4–1 win for Celtic.[8] He began the season as second choice to Craig Gordon, but made his competitive debut in the Scottish League on 22 August 2015 in a 3–1 win away at Dundee United.[9] Bailly's next appearance was in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup on 10 January 2016, deputising for the suspended Craig Gordon. He had little to do as Celtic eased to a comfortable 3–0 win over lower league Stranraer, and his only save came with 12 minutes remaining when he saved a Craig Malcolm header.[10][11]

International career

Bailly is a member of Belgium national team.[12] He was named in a provisional 30-man squad for the UEFA Under-21 Championship in 2007.[13] He also represented Belgium at the 2008 Olympic Games, where Belgium reached the semi-finals, knocking out Italy en-route. Belgium eventually finished in fourth place.[14][15]

He received his first call up to the full international squad in the summer of 2007 for a Euro 2008 qualifying tie against Portugal, although he did not play.[16][17] He featured in several more squad selections before winning his first cap on 10 October 2009 in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying tie at home against Turkey.[16] He played the full 90 minutes and kept a clean sheet in a 0–0 draw.[18] Over the next year, Bailly made seven more international appearances, his last cap to date being in a 4–4 draw against Austria in October 2010.[16]
