It has been quite a 2018 for former Celtic midfielder Liam Henderson.

The 22-year-old left Celtic to join Serie B side Bari in January, becoming the first Scottish player since Graeme Souness to play for an Italian club.

It was a very courageous move by the young Scot, given the circumstances, but fortune favours the brave and it looks like the year could get a lot better for Henderson soon.

Such has been his influence in Italy, Tuttomercatoweb report that Serie A outfit Fiorentina are interested in bringing him to the top flight.

The Scotland U-21 international, who managed 29 Premiership games for Celtic during a five-year stint at Parkhead, could fetch up to £2 million.

Considering Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers only sold him for £115,000, it would appear as if Henderson is now worth around 18 times what the Northern Irishman sold him for.

You can’t blame Rodgers for selling him, given the calibre of midfield options that he has in Glasgow, but at the same time it is a reminder that the former Liverpool manager is only human and can get transfer-related things very wrong from time to time.
