Celtic confirmed on Wednesday evening that 21-year-old midfielder Liam Henderson has left the club to join Serie B side Bari on a permanent deal.
The Celtic academy talent, who made his first team debut in 2013, had failed to win a place in Brendan Rodgers’ starting eleven since the manager joined the club and after loan moves to the likes of Rosenborg and Hibernian over the years, finally leaves Celtic Park for good.
Having won major national trophies with three clubs already in his career, the midfielder is well placed to have a successful career and reach his potential in Italy, with his new club pushing for promotion to Serie A.
Hoops supporters are sad to see him leave but recognise it’s a positive move for the player, who had made just one substitute appearance so far this season.
Can he be a rare example of a Scottish player doing well abroad, or will we soon see him back on these shores?
Fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on his transfer…
