“Forget about Nicolas Kuhn, this Celtic is the best in Scotland”- BBC Sport pundit says Brendan Rodgers has a player at Celtic who is the best in Scotland
Celtic’s season continues to gain momentum, as demonstrated by their commanding 4-0 victory at Tynecastle this weekend, which saw them extend their lead to three points at the top of the Premiership table.
Even though they weren’t at their best, Celtic claimed all three points, showing that they are virtually unstoppable in domestic competitions. The closest anyone has come to challenging them was Aberdeen, who drew 2-2 at Parkhead in October, but were quickly humbled in the League Cup semi-final.
While Celtic have shown their superiority in many matches, they have also proved resilient in tough situations, such as their wins against Hearts and Kilmarnock, where they held firm under pressure and secured comfortable victories.
A key factor in their success has been the exceptional form of Nicolas Kuhn.
Nicolas Kuhn: Scotland’s Best Player
Looking back to January, Kuhn’s place in the team was being questioned, but he has since turned his performance around dramatically. With 22 goal involvements so far this season, including crucial goals at pivotal moments, Kuhn has proven to be indispensable. His brace against RB Leipzig, a vital goal against Kilmarnock under intense pressure, and his second goal against Hearts have been standout moments.
Marvin Bartley has hailed Kuhn as the “best player in the country” and a “real game-changer” on the flanks, as he explained on The Scottish Football Podcast. Bartley acknowledged Hearts’ strong first-half performance at Tynecastle but praised Celtic’s championship quality, noting their ability to score four goals in the second half. He added that while Celtic may not always be at their best, they have a player in Kuhn who makes a real difference.
“We talk about Rangers not having a clear identity, but Celtic have that,” Bartley said. “They will wear you down with consistent underlapping runs, and with Kuhn, they have someone who can change the game.”
Kuhn’s Stellar Stats
This season could be record-breaking for Kuhn, who already has 22 goal involvements, with plenty of football still to play. With additional Champions League matches and the League Cup final approaching, along with a likely run to the Scottish Cup final, Kuhn will have even more opportunities to add to his tally.
His performances have been so impressive that WhoScored has rated him at an outstanding 7.60 this season.
