Jack Hendry has not travelled with Celtic for their Europa League playoff tonight.

Some Celtic fans on Twitter are happy to hear that Jack Hendry will play no part in tonight’s Europa League playoff away to Suduva.

Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers did not bring Hendry on the trip to Lithuania after the 23-year-old was ruled out with a knee injury.

The former Dundee man, who joined Celtic in January, has endured a difficult start to the season and was slammed by some supporters of the Parkhead club on Saturday.

Rodgers’s side edged out Partick Thistle to reach the quarter-final of the League Cup, on an afternoon which did nothing for Hendry’s confidence following an erratic showing.

Here is how some supporters reacted to him not being involved tonight.

With Dedryck Boyata also left behind in Glasgow, the obvious centre-back pairing for Rodgers is to go with Kristoffer Ajer and Jozo Simunovic.

Celtic should most definitely get past the Lithuanian side over two legs, regardless of who plays in central defence, but Suduva have looked formidable in the Europa League so far, so nothing is guaranteed.
