Marvin Compper hass arrived in Scotland to complete his transfer to Celtic.

The defender jetted in to Edinburgh Aiport and is expected to complete a £900,000 move to the hoops this week.

Celtic have agreed terms with the player and RB Leipzig with the 32-year-old all set to join up with his new team-mates in Dubai next month.

Brendan Rodgers has become increasingly frustrated by the fitness and form of his central defenders and sees the experienced Compper as an instant solution to that problem.

Compper was a regular in the RB Leipzig team that finished second in the Bundesliga last season but has struggled for game time this term.

The 32-year-old was shown around Lennoxtown last week and will sign a contract running until June 2020 as he becomes Celtic’s third German player after Andreas Thom and Andreas Hinkel.

Rodgers is believed to be looking to bring in another central defender as well as Compper.
