Nicolas Kuhn is in it for the long haul at Celtic after netting another two goals in the Hoops’ 3-0 triumph over St. Mirren yesterday.
It was a routine victory for the Bhoys, who perfectly bounced back from last Thursday’s thumping defeat at Ibrox.
Kuhn opened the scoring just after the half-hour mark, sweeping home from inside the box after the Hoops got in behind the Buddies’ defence. Auston Trusty doubled the hosts’ advantage moments from halftime before the German winger completed the scoring in the second 45.
Post-match, Brendan Rodgers’ comments criticising the Celtic supporters gathered much attention. Kuhn’s, though, shouldn’t be overlooked.
Indeed, as well as emphasising the fact he has a long-term contract in Glasgow, the 25-year-old outlined how his surroundings at Celtic are helping him succeed.
Kuhn was asked if this is the best season he’s had at any club: “I think that’s the best,” he said (Celtic FC on YouTube).
“But it’s also the best team I’ve played in yet.
“All the teammates, 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 as I said, everyone makes it easy for me, and I’m just enjoying to play.”
Now up to 16 goas and 11 assists in 27 Celtic appearances this season, Kuhn has now matched Jota’s best season in green and white in terms of numbers.
His electric form has been critical to his side’s sensational season to date. Despite reported interest from Brentford and Crystal Palace, Kuhn appears locked in at Celtic.
His recent comments should encourage fans, with the winger laser-focused on continually developing for the Bhoys.
