Henderson Ready To Make Impact

Liam Henderson insists he did not mind missing out on Celtic's title celebrations because he believes his Norwegian loan stint will set him up for a future filled with medals.

The 19-year-old spent three months with Rosenborg after boss Ronny Deila decided he would benefit from a spell in his homeland.

The Scotland Under-19 midfielder helped the former Champions League quarter-finalists regain top-spot in the Tippeligaen as he netted four goals in 13 appearances.

But his Scandinavian sojourn cost him the chance to play a part in the Hoops title run in and left him one match short of being eligible for a winner's medal.

While his Celtic team-mates were lapping up four-in-a-row with a 5-0 romp against Inverness on the final day of the season, Henderson was preparing to be an unused sub as Rosenborg edged out title rivals Stabaek 3-2.

Henderson, though, insists his time in Trondheim will do him the world of good as he strives to cut himself a permanent place in Deila's line-up.
