‘More to go’ – Rodgers Refuses to Let Celtic’s Star Man Rest on Electric Form

Brendan Rodgers discussed Celtic man of the match Nicolas Kuhn post-match this afternoon.

However, the Irishman was level-headed in his analysis of the German winger.

After a quiet afternoon at Ibrox on Thursday, like the rest of his teammates, with Kuhn taking a serious elbow from Rangers defender Jefté to the nose, he bounced back in sensational fashion this afternoon with a brace.

With Rodgers quick to reveal that it is only the tip of the iceberg for the German.

He said: (BBC Sport), “[Nicolas Kuhn] still has more to go. We play with fast wingers who have the possibility to create goals and score goals because of how we play.

“For him and his numbers this season, it’s really impressive.”

Kuhn has been sensational so far this season, after a lacklustre few months at the end of last season following his arrival a year ago.

He is already an early contender for not only Celtic Player of the Year but also SPFL Player of the Year, with 9 goals and 6 assists in 17 league games.

With his standout performance against former side RB Leipzig in the Champions League in November, Kuhn showed himself to have really risen to the occasion this season after doubts from some in the media over his transfer from Rapid Vienna.

The Hoops winger, at 25, certainly has more to come, and given such a transformation in a year at the club, he has shown himself to have an elite mentality, fighting back from dental issues to become the best player in Scotland.
