The Barcelona loanee struggled on his Hoops debut up against Bairns winger Alfredo Agyeman
Brendan Rodgers insists he won’t become Celtic’s Tinkerman after his fringe men were given a heck of a fright by Falkirk.
The Hoops boss said: “Yes, absolutely. That's the most changes I'll ever make. Normally, I would make one change per line, the back line or a triangle in midfield, one change there or in the front line. If you look at my history as a coach, you'll see that I wouldn't normally make so many, but that's the risk that you take. I’m happy to take that risk.

That comes from just not playing so much. But we knew we always had the bench to pull on if we needed it, especially in that last 30 minutes where Falkirk put so much into the game, and then the energy can maybe just start to get sucked a wee bit.”
Rodgers was thrilled with the impact made by Kuhn from the bench and he said: “Man of the match in 30 minutes, it's quite nice, isn't it? So, it was fantastic when Nicolas came into the game. He's developing into a really, really good player, being effective, which is what you want with him, without the ball.”
“He's settled in really, really well into the city, into the club, and he's there for us when he's needed. I think they're coming into a complex system, and that's why I didn't throw them in straight away – they'd hardly had any training for a little bit of time. But now they're up to speed a little bit.
