Marvin Compper has not made an appearance for Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic side this season.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, Celtic defender Marvin Compper is expected to leave the Bhoys this month.

Compper only moved to Celtic in January last year, but his stay at Parkhead is expected to be a short one.

The 33-year-old defender has made just one appearance for Celtic throughout his time there, and is yet to play at all this season.

Brendan Rodgers has clearly preferred other options this season, even when Celtic have been struggling at the back.

And Compper is now expected to depart Glasgow in the coming weeks, as Celtic plan a shake-up.

The Bhoys will be hoping that Compper’s departure does not leave them short at the back.

Doubts remain over the futures of Dedryck Boyata and Filip Benkovic, both of whom could leave Celtic in the near future, even though Rodgers is desperate to keep hold of the pair.
