Celtic boss Neil Lennon could be set to hand Marvin Compper a rare start against St. Mirren tonight.

A leaked team sheet did the rounds hours before the game showing the German’s name, which has been obtained and reported on by The Daily Record.

Compper has made only one appearance for the Bhoys since signing in January 2018 from RB Leipzig, with Brendan Rodgers having frozen him out before leaving for Leicester City.

He has been playing regularly for the reserves in recent months, and could now be set to feature under new interim manager Lennon which would be a huge shock.

With Dedryck Boyata being unavailable through injury, Jozo Simunovic would have likely been many fans’ chosen partner for Kristoffer Ajer.

But if the leak turns out to be true then Compper will be in line for his second appearance for the club.

Other players who will be getting a run out tonight according to the leak are Timo Weah, Jeremy Toljan and Oliver Burke, with Scott Brown, Odsonne Edouard and Mikael Lustig not included.

Some Celtic fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts about Compper potentially starting in Paisley, with many actually open to the idea of seeing the 33-year-old given a chance:
