“I’m all about learning, I want to take in as much information as possible so to play with an experienced, top-class player like Charlie (Mulgrew) is really good.”
Central defence has been a problem position for the Scots in recent times, but in his first two games, Scott McKenna did well in the 1-0 defeat by Costa Rica and was a stand-out in Hungary.
The displays of Hendry and Aberdeen’s McKenna should give manager Alex McLeish plenty to build on.
“Me and Scott are constantly learning and trying to improve all the time,” Hendry added.
“When we get opportunities we’ve got to take them. Scott’s done well and I feel I did well tonight, so when you get those opportunities, and it’s a real honour to represent your country, you’ve got to grasp it with both hands. We’ve showed that we can play at this level.
