Hat-trick hero Commons praises Celtic's youngster Henderson

Celtic star Kris Commons has lavished praise on teenage teammate Liam Henderson.

The 17-year old midfielder made his first Hoops start in Friday night's 3-0 victory at Kilmarnock and impressed Commons who struck a hat-trick for the Scottish Premiership champions-elect.

"He's a superb talent and is excellent addition to our squad," Commons told the Celtic View.

"For someone who is 17-year-old to come in and play as well as he did, not only the technical side of the game - seeing passes and executing them - but his work-rate off the ball was tremendous, along with his strength.

"For a boy to put in that sort of performance away from home, he will go from strength to strength. He is a very bright prospect for us."
