Hendry, whose first experience as a manager with Blackpool ended in disappointment and a “tell nobody nothing” clause, told a news conference at Broadwood Stadium “I hope that this is where my management career starts properly”.
Having won both a Premiership medal with Blackburn and the SPL equivalent with Glasgow Rangers, Hendry will be hoping for the kind of success which saw Clyde knock Celtic out of the Scottish Cup on Roy Keane’s debut 18 months ago, a feat witnessed on Sky by a global audience of millions compared to their average crowd of 1359.
