Ewan Henderson made his debut for Celtic on Wednesday night.

Celtic manager Brendan Rogers lifts the trophy during the Betfred Cup Final between Aberdeen and Celtic at Hampden Park on November 27, 2016 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Brendan Rodgers handed a debut to Celtic teenager Ewan Henderson on Wednesday night as the Hoops drew 0-0 with Kilmarnock at Parkhead – and older brother Liam Henderson has reacted on Twitter.

Ewan, 18, came off the bench in the 82nd minute to replace Patrick Roberts as the Hoops failed to beat Steve Clarke’s side despite having home advantage.

Rodgers decided to include a number of young Celtic stars in his side against Killie, with Calvin Miller starting at left-back while Mikey Johnston remained an unused substitute on the bench.

Ewan looked assured and far from out of place during his eight-minute run out and older brother Liam, who now plays for Serie B side Bari in Italy reacted on Twitter to congratulate his younger brother.

Ewan has been a prominent member of Celtic’s second string this season, even making seven UEFA Youth League appearances for the club. He scored in a 6-2 loss to Bayern Munich’s youngsters back in October.

Meanwhile, Liam is enjoying life in Italy since joining Fabio Grosso’s side in January, scoring two goals and laying on another two assists in just 16 appearances for his new side.
