Marvin Compper has arrived in Scotland as he prepares to sign for Celtic.

Brendan Rodgers has been on the lookout for a new centre back and appears to have got his man after the Leipzig centre back arrived at Edinburgh airport.

He will join Celtic when the January transfer window opens for a fee of around £1million after losing his place in the Leipzig first team.

The 32-year-old has played just three times for the German outfit this season with his last game coming against Mainz on December 9.

Compper started his professional career at Borussia Monchengladbach in 2005, making just five top-flight appearances over the season.

After biding his time, injuries to teammates saw him thrust into the first-team in the autumn of 2006, his most productive season at the club with 23 appearances.

After turning out 50 times in all for Die Fohlen, Compper moved on to Hoffenheim in January 2008.

The defender was ever-present in the side and spent four seasons at the Rhein-Neckar Arena, making 30 or more appearances in all but one of those campaigns.

Two seasons at Serie A side Fiorentina followed, including 7 appearances in the Europa League as the club reached the last 16, losing out narrowly to eventual semi-finalists Juventus.

In 2013, he joined RB Leipzig and was an integral part of their much-storied rise from second-tier obscurity into the Bundesliga title mix last year.

Comperr played 25 times in the 2016/17 season, including 15 in the league alongside Scottish starlet Oliver Burke.
