Italian side Bari make shock offer to sign Celtic’s Henderson

Young midfielder Liam Henderson has had very limited playing time this season and has become an outcast under Brendan Rodgers.

However, the Daily Record reports that the 21-year-old could be on his way to Italy, with Serie B side Bari showing a surprising interest in Henderson, who has appeared just once for the Hoops all season.

The second tier team led by Fabio Grosso have reportedly offered Celtic’s forgotten man a week-long trial for the chance to impress on the continent.

Henderson had a successful loan spell at Hibernian under Alan Stubbs last season, where he played a vital role in the famous Scottish Cup win in 2016 that saw the Edinburgh side beat Rangers 3-2.

The young midfielder was linked with several moves away from the club in the summer, with English side Preston taking a particular interest, but he was unable to complete a deal to leave the Scottish champions.
