“not just Celtic’s day” Chris Sutton reveals the name of the Celtic F.C player to be benched for the cup finals to guarantee success

Celtic, led by Brendan Rodgers, are set to play one more significant game.

During the most recent matches, the Celtic manager has made adjustments to his starting eleven by rotating players, giving squad members an opportunity, and replacing players who have been injured.

On the other hand, during the celebration of Celtic’s championship victory over St. Mirren on Saturday, with the exception of the injury sustained by Reo Hatate, one could claim that the club played its strongest potential eleven players.

So, in preparation for the Scottish Cup final matchup between Celtic and Aberdeen, which will take place at Hampden this coming weekend, does the team choose itself?

As a result of Celtic’s late performance against St. Mirren, Chris Sutton is of the opinion that this might not be the case, and he mentioned one position in particular.

If James Forrest is selected to play in the Scottish Cup final, Nicolas Kuhn will be replaced.
After getting off to a blistering and outstanding start to the 2025 season, Nicolas Kuhn’s form has been going through a rough patch throughout the year.

However, Sutton believes that Kuhn had a “quiet game” against St. Mirren, and he was starting to question his place in the starting eleven prior to the Hampden extravaganza, as he stated in an interview with Sky Sports Football on May 25th.

The fact that James Forrest scored his record-breaking goal and has been in blistering form ever since he returned from injury is not helping the German player in any way.

“He is the most decorated, and I have said to you before that he is the most underrated,” added Sutton.

During his time at Celtic, he has had an outstanding career. In addition to the fact that he had opportunities at Pittodrie, the goal was appropriate given the way that he just cut over it. The event did not take place.

When the game went on for a longer period of time, you began to think, “Well, maybe it’s not just Celtic’s day, but James isn’t going to get there.”

But he came on, and Nicolas Kuhn played a game that was relatively calm. It was discussed that the starting lineup for the cup final would consist of one player. At this point, I am not really certain.

“The entire dynamic of the game shifted as a result of James Forrest’s play, along with the manner in which he entered the game. That which makes a difference. Exceptional for him to do. Martin (O’Neill) is referring to the roar that came from the crowd when they were at home. It was fitting. It was quite remarkable.
