Ofir Marciano has 10 caps for Israel
Hibernian manager Neil Lennon has confirmed that he is hoping to sign Israel goalkeeper Ofir Marciano and Celtic midfielder Liam Henderson.
The Scottish Championship club are in talks with 26-year-old Marciano, who was recently with Royal Mouscron in the Belgian Pro League.
Henderson spent last season on loan with Hibs from the Scottish champions.
"We have made an inquiry and we are no further than that really," Lennon said of the 20-year-old.
Henderson made 48 appearances for the Edinburgh side having had previous loan spells with Hearts and Rosenborg.
The Scotland Under-21 midfielder returned to Celtic and, although he featured in pre-season friendlies, he has not made any competitive appearances under new manager Brendan Rodgers in their Champions League qualifiers.
"He is a fine young player," Lennon told BBC Scotland. "Obviously Brendan will still be assessing his squad, so we'll wait and see if there's anything going to come of that.
Wrong Liam Henderson, Brian.
