League One club in Sunderland have been linked with Celtic defender Hendry and his teammate and winger Morgan in the January transfer window.
According to The Dundee Evening Telegraph, Sunderland want to sign 23-year-old Scotland international defender Hendry from Celtic this month.
The Daily Star has credited the Black Cats with interest in securing the services of 22-year-old Scotland international Morgan on loan from the Hoops in the January transfer window.
Sunderland manager Ross has said that there have been no contact with Celtic regarding either player, but he has said that he wants Morgan to progress in his career, having worked with the youngster at St. Mirren.
Ross told The Scottish Sun: “There has been no communication with Brendan and there’s been no communications between the clubs.
“Naturally with Lewis, that link is easier to make because I’ve worked with him in the past at St Mirren.
“He’s a young man with whom I forged a really close relationship and he’s someone I am desperate to keep progressing his career.”
