Jack Hendry was one of the stars of the show for Club Brugge as Belgium side Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar were kept at bay.

The Scotland star even missed a glorious opportunity that would have secured a famous Champions League victory for his new team.

Hendry signed with Brugge from KV Oostende on deadline day and made his debut in the 3-0 win over his former club at the weekend.

The former Celtic and Dundee player did enough to impress coach Philippe Clement and was selected to start their opening group game against the feared Paris Saint-Germain side.

Many were left at the heart of Scotland’s defense when they saw the front line he was facing.

Mauricio Pochettino’s team went with the famous front three that is arguably the best player of all time.

Messi was accompanied by two of the best players of their generation, Mbappe and Neymar.

However, Brugge pits despite Ander Herrera’s opener, returning it with a Hans Vanaken shot.

Mbappe was at the heart of the front three but was forced out of injury in the 51st minute after battling Hendry and his defensive partner Stanley Nsuki throughout the match.

Hendry impressed with his defensive strength while his death also caught the eye as he completed 92% – the best in Brugge’s side.

However, his ending was not decisive as he missed a fantastic opportunity in the second half that would have given Brugge a massive win.

But it nonetheless was a hugely impressive performance that would put him in Steve Clark’s estimations ahead of a major double header next month with Israel and the Faroe Islands.
