Liam Henderson

Liam Henderson (born 25 April 1996) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Serie B club Sampdoria. Henderson began his senior career at Celtic, winning the 2015 Scottish League Cup Final, and the 2016–17 Scottish Premiership. On loan at Norwegian club Rosenborg, he won the 2015 Norwegian league and cup double. On loan and after coming on at 2–1 down as a 70th minute substitute, he delivered two assists from corner kicks in the 2016 Scottish Cup Final in the comeback 3–2 win over Rangers. That ended Hibernian's 114 year wait to lift the Scottish Cup for the third time. Playing in Italy since 2018, Henderson has also played for Bari, Hellas Verona, Lecce and Palermo. In each of his six seasons in which he has played 2nd divisional football, he ended the season playing in promotional play-offs (with Hibs and each of his five Italian clubs). In these six campaigns he succeeded once, when Verona won 2019 promotion from Serie B. He holds numerous appearance records for Scotsmen playing professional football in Italy, including the first Scot to play in 100 men's Serie A games. Henderson captained Scotland up to and including under-21 among his 37 youth international caps.
