Rodgers says Compper will have ‘limited game time’ this season

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers was very honest when asked about Marvin Compper’s future at Parkhead, admitting the centre-back may struggle for playing time this season. Compper joined Celtic from RB Leipzig in January but has gone on to make only one appearance for the Hoops since.

The 33-year-old, who has also played for the likes of Stuttgart, Borussia Mochengladbach, Hoffenheim Fiorentina and the German national team, has failed to make the matchday squad in any competition this season and finds himself behind the likes of Filip Benkovic, Jozo Simunovic, Dedryck Boyata, Kristoffer Ajer and Jack Hendry in the pecking order.
