Celtic team-mates make ‘best’ season ‘easy’ for Kuhn

Nicolas Kuhn credits his teammates for making life at Celtic with the most fulfilling period of his career.

The 25-year-old German winger scored twice in Sunday’s 3-0 win over St Mirren, taking his tally for the season to 16 across all competitions.

The former RB Leipzig and Ajax youth, who arrived from Rapid Vienna in January 2024, also has 11 assists.

Kuhn scored twice in the Champions League final victory over Rangers for Celtic, helping them advance to the knockout stages.

Summing up his campaign so far, he said: “I think that it’s the best but it’s also the best team I’ve played in.

” All the team-mates, the staff, make it a lot easier for me and I’m just happy to be here.

“I think it’s just the surroundings, I feel really good, I’m happy to be here and everyone makes it easy for me. I’m just enjoying playing.

” I’m not so focused on the numbers, we just have to perform well and that’s what I try to do.

The most crucial factor for me is maintaining my fitness. And in the end it’s about winning trophies.

Celtic moves 13 points clear of Rangers at the top of the Premiership with a victory over St Mirren.

Kuhn was pleased with how the Old Firm lost to Ibrox on Thursday, marking their first domestic defeat since March of last year.

” We don’t want that to happen again, so we just have to keep working and be 100 per cent in every game, “he said”. It doesn’t matter if it’s Rangers or anyone else.

“We had to show a reaction and that’s what we did.

” That was a lesson for us like Dortmund (Celtic’s only other defeat this season) and we showed a reaction. It was really important.
