And Henderson has now been offered a deal to stay in Italy and join a very select band of Scots who have played in Italian football.

The Scotland Under 21 international’s contract with Celtic ends at the end of the season and he may move to Bari on loan.

Henderson - who also had a loan spell in Norway with Rosenborg and helped Hibs end their Scottish Cup hoodoo - would become the first Scot in Italian football for years.
