The race for Dundee defender Stephen Hendry is heating up.

The Daily Mail says Bournemouth, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Newcastle are among the Premier League clubs who will watch Dundee defender Hendry against Hibernian on Wednesday night.

Rangers and Celtic, who have already posted interest in the stylish 22-year-old, are also due to attend.

Celtic have had a £500,000 bid rejected for Hendry who only joined Dundee last summer after a spell with Wigan Athletic.

The Scottish champions are reluctant to pay the asking price of £1.5million set by Hendry's employers.
