CELTIC youngster Liam Henderson has joined Norwegian side Rosenborg on a three-month loan deal.

 

The 18-year-old midfielder, who has made 22 appearances for the Hoops' first-team and scored twice since making his debut last season, joined the Trondheim outfit on the final day of the Norwegian transfer window.

Their manager Kare Ingebrigtsen welcomed the move after describing the Under-19 international as "one of Scotland's greatest talents and a very exciting player".

Ingebrigtsen - who spoke to Celtic boss Ronny Deila and midfielder Stefan Johansen before making his move, added: "Liam has huge potential and both Ronny and Stefan speak very highly about him.

"He is a young, ambitious, hard-working boy with a strong will to win and experience of playing in front of 60,000 spectators, so he knows what the pressure of expectation is."
