Former Celtic defender Marvin Compper has been spotted doing a bit of punditry work. The 35-year-old is currently on the books with German side Duisburg but was on Sky Sports Germany duty previewing RB Leipzig’s clash with Liverpool in The Champions League. Compper remains an enigma for fans given he arrived, played once in eighteen months and was only seen during trophy presentations.

To say that Compper’s Celtic career never took off due to injuries is an understatement but a player of that calibre should have been better than what we saw of the senior pro. Compper and Jack Hendry arrived that transfer window with a combined fee around the £4m mark and Celtic haven’t seen any return from this investment. Hendry may yet prove worthwhile but Compper was released just eighteen months into his deal. Bizarrely the player was given one of the loudest cheers when picking up two league medals in 2018 and 2019.
Compper was an enigma during his time at Celtic, he was untried by Brendan Rodgers when he could have called upon the German but for whatever reason, he was left out of the first team.
