Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony has suggested on Twitter that he regrets the departure of Jack Hendry, who is now at Celtic.

Hendry was on the books of Peterborough from 2011 until 2013 and left for Dundee United in Scotland.

The Scotland international central defender is now on the books of Celtic, having joined the Glasgow giants from Dundee in January 2018 for a transfer fee reported by The Glasgow Evening Times to be worth £1.5 million.

Peterborough chairman MacAnthony has admitted on Twitter that he regrets the exit of Hendry from the English club.

Good defender

Hendry has failed to make a huge impact at Celtic, but there is no doubt that the Scotland international is a very good defender who can be a success at the Hoops in the long run.

The former Partick Thistle and Wigan Athletic man is only 24 years of age, and there is still time on his hands to establish himself as a regular in the Celtic starting lineup.

According to WhoScored, Hendry made four appearances in the Scottish Premiership, two in the Europa League and three in the Scottish League Cup for the Hoops last season.
