The Celtic defender’s inclusion his been widely criticised.

Celtic’s Jack Hendry is one of four players recalled to Alex McLeish’s latest Scotland squad, announced on Monday lunchtime.

That is despite Hendry having been on what is perceived by many – including some Celtic fans – a poor run of form of late.

Weirder still, the 23-year-old’s return comes at the expense of players such as Liam Cooper, who has helped Leeds United into the Championship’s top two this season.

This is what Scotland fans are saying about Hendry’s inclusion on Twitter…

Hendry moved to Celtic from Dundee at the turn of the year and won the first of his two senior international caps two months later, in March.

The other one arrived in June, before injury put on hold the Bhoys defender’s hopes of a third in September.
