Jack Hendry made just four Scottish Premiership appearances last season and the £1.5m man needs a move away from Neil Lennon’s side.
Celtic’s seldom-seen centre-back Jack Hendry is set to leave Parkhead and join Hull City on loan, according to The Mail.
It’s hard to believe now that, just 18 months ago, Celtic were desperate to sign the young defender from Scottish Premiership rivals Dundee.
Hendry had caught Brendan Rodgers’ eye during a league clash in October 2017 and, after failing with a number of bids, The Hoops finally got their man for a fee of £1.5 million.
The Glasgow-born defender had started his career with Celtic as a youngster and an emotional return to Parkhead looked like the perfect opportunity for Hendry to take his game to a whole new level.
So few at the time would have predicted that the 24-year-old would fall so rapidly down the pecking order.
Hendry made just four league appearances throughout the 2018/19 campaign and with Celtic looking to bring in Partizan Belgrade’s Strahinja Pavlovic, who Neil Lennon scouted on Thursday, the future looks increasingly grim for the three-time Scotland international.
So a loan move to Hull could come at the perfect time.
According to The Mail, new Tigers boss Grant McCann wants to give Hendry a fresh start. It’s an opportunity he’d be foolish not to take.
