Marvin Compper could finally be set to make his first appearance for Celtic since his January move, as he looks to have recovered from a calf injury picked up during the winter break, as reported by The Evening Times.
The defender has missed over a month of action but should be ready to be included in Brendan Rodgers’ squad for the Dundee game or the clash with Greenock Morton on Saturday.
Speaking to the media, the manager gave an injury update on Compper and also Patrick Roberts, who could feature.
Patrick will be back available for Dundee. Marvin Compper as well. Patrick played in the development game last week and has been training for a few weeks. It’s great to have him back. You see his quality and his creativity, he’s fantastic to have back.
Rodgers also confirmed that young Kristoffer Ajer could be a doubt after colliding with Jozo Simunovic against Aberdeen.
Kris has suffered from the head knock and we’ll need to see how he is in the next 24 hours. He ended up with his head all bandaged up like Rab C. Nesbitt! The problem is above his eye. He obviously needed to be stitched up on the pitch but after the game, his eye fully closed.
Celtic fans will be desperate to get their first glimpse of Compper since his £1 million switch from RB Leipzig.
It could be a timely return for the 33-year-old centre back with Ajer and also Mikael Lustig to miss the game against Neil McCann’s side.
