Marvin Compper explains why Celtic could lose to RB Leipzig

Celtic travel to Germany to face RB Leipzig on Thursday in the Europa League, and given the quality of the Bundesliga side, the clash is set to be the Hoops’ biggest and toughest game of the new season thus far.

The Scottish giants haven’t particularly been impressive, especially defensively, both domestically and on the continent at the moment, and a loss against the Germans could deal a huge blow on their chances of advancing to the competition’s knockout stages.

Celtic centre-back and former RB Leipzig man Marvin Compper, who hasn’t been named in the squad, reckons it will be a very tough encounter for his side on Thursday, but he hopes they can leave Germany with a result.
