Jack Hendry completed a permanent move from Celtic to Belgian outfit KV Oostende on Saturday.
A number of Hoops fans were quick to give their immediate replies to the news after the club posted confirmation of the deal on their official Twitter page.
Hendry joined Celtic back in 2018 for £1.5m during Brendan Rodgers’ Parkhead tenure. The 26-year-old made just 27 appearances for the Hoops and impressed out on loan with Oostende last season by being their fourth-best performer, as per WhoScored.
They had an option to buy Hendry in that loan move, with the centre-back agreeing on a three-year deal with the Jupiler Pro League side.
Ange Postecoglou’s side will get back the £1.5m that they spent on the defender, but reports have suggested that Oostende could look to make an immediate significant profit on him this summer.
Celtic fans react
Celtic tweeted about Hendry’s exit on Saturday afternoon but didn’t attach a club statement.
These Hoops supporters weren’t exactly bothered at the exit, with on describing the deal as ‘superb’ as the Scotland international often struggled during his appearances for the club.
“Things are on the up”
“Ange doing bits”
“Superb”
“Deadwood out, nice to see keep it going”
“Good – utterly hopeless – another failure of a project”
“Thank God for that, though more importantly, how much did they get for him?”
