Nicolas Kuhn is described as the outstanding player in Scottish football this season after his two-goal display in Celtic's 3-1 Champions League win over RB Leipzig.
It might seem harsh to call Nicolas Kuhn a surprise package in the Celtic ranks this season given Brendan Rodgers spent £3m to prize the winger from Rapid Vienna last year.
Kuhn scored two goals and played a key role in setting up the third as Celtic came from behind to win a Champions League game for the first time since 2007.Rodgers used to repeatedly deliver one message to the German winger at half-time of matches last season, according to former Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart.
It was not all easy for Celtic and Kuhn on Tuesday. After an Arne Engels shot in the opening minute, they did not have another until the 35th minute. Now though, he is making an impact on the biggest stage. That aforementioned strike has the feel of one that will be talked about by Celtic fans for years to come.
"The hardest place to do that is the final third, but he knew what he wanted to do long before he actually did it."Kuhn's second goal was not quite as brilliant on an individual level. "He's become an absolutely essential player in this team. You couldn’t tire watching that . He just cushions it in from a mile out - if you can do such a thing."
