Serie A baby!!!!!!! What a day, what a team, God bless @HellasVeronaFC pic.twitter.com/trOedq0NYc— Liam Henderson (@liam53henderson) June 2, 2019The result means Henderson becomes only the fourth Scottish player to play in Italy’s top flight after Joe Jordan, Denis Law and Graeme Souness.Clearly thrilled with the result, Henderson posted a picture on his Twitter account, which shows him standing on the pitch with his proud family, along with the caption; “Serie A baby!!!!! What a day, what a team, God bless.” It has been quite an 18-months for Henderson, who was deemed surplus to requirements under Brendan Rodgers, before heading to the second division in Italy.The Livingston-born player signed for Celtic in 2008 and made his first-team debut in December 2013, aged 17 against Motherwell.He would remain with the club until he was sent out for the first of two loan spells in 2015, Rosenborg in Norway and then Hibernian.However, he had clearly impressed and was rewarded with a three-year contract at Celtic.

In training he seems like hes been with us for a long time. He has great commitment and quality.
