JACK Hendry, the 22-year-old centre half who joined Celtic from Dundee in a £1.5 million transfer back in January, has been called into the Scotland squad for the friendlies with Costa Rica and Hungary.
Hendry has only been involved in five games for Brendan Rodgers's side, one of which was the 3-2 win over Rangers at Ibrox eight days ago, since moving to Parkhead.
But he has been added to the national squad after his club mate Kieran Tierney withdrew along with Russell Martin of Rangers due to calf and back injuries respectively.
Alex McLeish's side play Costa Rica at Hampden on Friday and then Hungary in Budapest the following Tuesday.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
