Celtic midfielder Liam Henderson could play his way into an Italian job.

Home-grown Hoops starlet Henderson, 21, has been restricted to just one appearance – against Dundee in October - under Brendan Rodgers this term.

And now he has popped up on the radar of Bari boss Fabio Grosso, the one-time Juventus and Inter Milan defender.

Henderson, who was a summer target for English Championship side Preston, has been offered the chance to impress the Serie B side during a week-long trial.

The midfielder, who saw a deadline day bid by one-time Hoops mentor Neil Lennon to take him back on loan to Hibs , fell even further down the Parkhead pecking order with the arrival of midfielders Olivier Ntcham and Kundai Benyu.

Serie A chasing Bari are currently tucked in three points behind championship leaders Palermo and fending off a challenge from Parma and Frosinone.

Scotland U21 international Henderson, who made his Celtic debut at 17, was a stand-out on loan for Hibs in the Championship, playing a part in their historic 2016 Scottish Cup win over Rangers, and previously impressed during a three month spell with Norwegian side Rosenborg.
