    Looked shocking on the Sportscene highlights last night - jogging back into position when the team are already 0-2 down and just not looking interested at all.

    His defensive partner looked worse mind you.

    Probably sunk in that he's signed for Dundee.

    Was going to post this.

    He looked mince. Shadow of the player he used to be as a youngster.

    It was rumoured to be a short term stepping stone to impress Celtic/Brendan though.

    If that is/was the case then he has done nothing so far, in Scottish football, to show that he’s good enough to be considered for us.

    Maybe he won't reach his potential, what age is he now? Having a stop start career no matter what the reason is always gonna hamper your development, there's plenty more options out there for us.

    Looks worse than Boyata, thank * we never got him. Since we got Hendry Dundee have been shocking at the back, think we went for the right one.

    I have been pleasantly surprised by Hendry, looks really composed on the ball and yesterday didn't phase him at all when he came on.

    He brings more of calmness to the defence, which is impressive at that age, big and fast as well so great for a back 3 plus as you say on the ball he steps forwards with it very confidently.

    Don’t think it’s that at all personally.

    I think he’d be fine under an actual football manager as opposed to the wee cretin that manages Dundee currently.

    I'd agree with the point about mcann but in the highlights it's was basic defending and he was jogging back

    Do people expect one CB to completely change the fortunes of a * team?

    He hasn't played for ages, hence why Rodgers kept his distance.
    No doubt he'll find his feet then end up with us.

    Naw I expected someone who remotely looked like they had seen a ball before.

    No.

    It's more about how he is actually looking individually. Shadow of the player he once was/could have been.

    Actually looks like he belongs at a team like Dundee. Be interesting to see if we do take a punt.

    Good judgment not taking him immediately..

    Let’s see how he goes.
