Celtic have made a £1m move to sign Jack Hendry as they step up their chase of the Dundee defender.

The centre-back is a long-time Hoops target after a failed £500,000 bid at the beginning of January.

The improved offer could force the deal over the line despite Dens Park boss Neil McCann slapping a £1.5m price tag on Hendry.

Hendry has been one of Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers' top targets in the January window but the initial bid was described as "very, very low" by McCann.

Former Partick Thistle and Wigan youngster Hendry has had a fantastic first half of the season at Dens Park and has attracted interest from the English Premier League as well.

The 22-year-old has 18-months left on his contract at the club and the relegation battlers aren't willing to let him go on the cheap.
