Hendry has yet to make a senior appearance in Scottish football, though he has featured regularly for Celtic’s under-20s and signed a three-year contract extension in the summer of 2016.

Hendry told Raith TV: “Raith Rovers is a massive club for my first loan so I am excited to get started. I’ve not really had that chance in the first team at Celtic and I am looking for that here.”
