Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has defended Jordan Henderson amid criticism from "morality officers" over the midfielder's move from Liverpool to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq.
The England player, who Rodgers managed at Anfield from 2012 to 2015, has been widely criticised for moving to a country where homosexuality is illegal.
"There are so many morality officers nowadays that are judging people."
Henderson, who was Liverpool's captain, was criticised more than most big-name players who have moved to the Saudi Pro League this year because he had been seen as a long-time supporter of the LGBTQ+ community.
In an interview with the Athletic this week, Henderson said the criticism "really hurt".
