Yet to kick a ball in green and white, this defender is adamant he wants to play under Brendan Rodgers at Celtic Park and even his own team-mates don't know why he hasn't.

Out in the cold at the Glasgow club, Marvin Compper has come out swinging.

The experienced centre-back joined in the January window but has found it hard to establish himself in Brendan Rodgers’ side to the extent he is yet to play in the Scottish Premiership since his move from RB Leipzig.

Despite his lack of game time, the one time Germany international has shown fight in his comments to Bild-Zeitung, stating even his own team-mates are questioning why he does not play.

As reported by The Scotsman, Compper said: “I’m fit and I train very well. Even my team-mates do not understand why I do not play.

“In the summer I had a calf injury. I got an athletic trainer and a physio at my own expense and made myself fit.

“Now it is up to the coach Brendan Rodgers to finally give me the trust."

Despite adding that he hopes to play for Celtic, these Hoops fans do not seem keen on the idea...
