Hendry had joined Celtic from Dundee in the winter of 2018, but he had left the club on loan in January 2020 to join A-League club Melbourne City. The defender returned to Parkhead at the end of the previous campaign (via Transfermarkt).
Many other Celtic fans also made their opinion clear about Hendry leaving. Some of them seemed happy and don’t want him to return to the Glasgow-based club.
Good hope he doesn’t come back

Before leaving Celtic to join Melbourne City, Hendry had not made a single Premiership appearance for the Hoops in the 2019/20 campaign. He did play once in the League Cup but got only 11 minutes of first-team football there (via Transfermarkt).
This shows that the 25-year-old was pretty low down in the pecking order at Parkhead. He wasn’t getting first-team football and as a result, his development was becoming stagnant.
However, given his age, there is a chance that he could still improve as a player in the future. Celtic fans can only hope that his stint at Oostende gives him first-team football and he comes back as a better footballer.
