The 24-year-old was instrumental in Celtic’s comeback from an early deficit at Parkhead, delivering his most impressive performance since his January arrival. Kuhn’s composure and panache were on full display as he faced his former academy team, vaulting Celtic back into contention.

 


His initial goal was a brilliant display of skill—a delicate strike that struck the post before settling into the net, thereby bringing the score to a tie. Kuhn’s second goal was scored just before the halftime whistle, electrifying the home audience and giving Celtic the lead. He pounced in the box and scored the goal. Kuhn’s initial goal was additionally recognized by his nomination for the UEFA Goal of the Week and Player of the Week awards, where he placed third in the latter.

The winger’s impact on a night in which Celtic outclassed their Bundesliga opposition was underscored by his influential performance, which solidified his place in UEFA’s prestigious Team of the Week. Celtic is in a state of excitement as they prepare to host Club Brugge at Celtic Park in just under three weeks. Their objective is to secure their fourth consecutive victory in the Champions League at home.
