Celtic have made a £500,000 bid for Dundee defender Jack Hendry.

The stylish 22-year-old centre-back has been watched by a number of clubs this season including Southampton, Newcastle United and Crystal Palace.

Hendry started his career at Partick Thistle but moved to Wigan Athletic in 2015 where he also had spells on loan with Shrewsbury Town and Milton Keynes Dons.

The Glasgow-born Hendry joined Dundee in July and has 18 months left on contract.


Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers hailed Hendry's display earlier in the season when Dundee played the green and whites. 

Rodgers was impressed with Hendry despite the youngster taken off during the second half after a nasty clash of heads with Hoops ace Cristian Gamboa.
