I think they would be two great signings.

Would Brady and Hendrick be good signings for Celtic?
No, they'll be poor signings
Yes, sign them!
I love the pair of them but eh

Burnley probably have a similar wage bill to our selves. It’s possible.

This season, 28-year-old Hendrick has made 27 appearances in all competitions for the Clarets. In the Premier League, the midfielder has made 24 appearances while scoring twice and assisting just as many times.
As for Brady, he has made 14 Premier League appearances under Sean Dyche. He has one goal and two assists to his name.
What do we think?
The contracts of both Brady and Hendrick run out in the summer of 2020, meaning they will be free agents when the deals end. They are still 28 and first-team Premier League players.
In that sense, Celtic would get good deals if they sign them. They will add quality depth to the current team and add some vital experience too.
