Neil McCann has claimed that Celtic have made contact about signing Jack Hendry from Dundee.
The defender was praised by Brendan Rodgers earlier this season after impressing for the Dark Blues in a 1-0 defeat from the hoops.
Rather than use the traditional get-out of ‘speculation’ when it comes to transfer stories McCann decided to try and push a move further along.
Neil McCann confirms @CelticFC interest in @dundeefconline defender Jack Hendry- “I would be lying if I said there wasn’t interest there” – but not aware of a bid yet.

Hendry joined Dundee on a free transfer at the start of the season from Wigan after spending last season on loan at Shrewsbury and MK Dons.
The 22-year-old has made 25 top team appearances this season and is thought to be a transfer target for Newcastle and Southampton.
Earlier this week it was claimed that Dundee had placed a £1.5m price tag on the defenders head but it’s unlikely that his current salary reflects that valuation.
Dundee face Inverness Caley Thistle at home in the Scottish Cup tomorrow.
