Brought in from Austrian top-flight side Rapid Vienna midway through the season gone by, Nicolas Kuhn didn’t particularly set it alight during his first few months in Glasgow.
The German youth international took a while to get going after initially struggling with dental issues which resultantly impacted his weight and performances on the pitch.
He has six goal contributions in his 18 Hoops appearances to date, averaging one every 163 minutes.
The 24-year-old recently aimed a brilliant dig at Rangers regarding their post-Glasgow derby celebrations in April.
The Ibrox club acted as if they had won when in reality, a 3-3 draw handed Celtic the title advantage.
From then, the champions went on and showed their elite mentality to win the league.
Instrumental to their run-in form was the return of Callum McGregor. The skipper was key in the final weeks of the campaign, and Kuhn has given an insight into how he acts in and around the dressing room.
Indeed, the winger revealed that the skipper is not the loudest or most talkative player, but that when he needs to act up to his role, he does.
“Callum is actually a rather quiet person”, admitted Kuhn (The Herald).
“But at Celtic, he speaks up in the dressing room when something goes wrong. Then he sometimes intervenes. So he’s the manager’s extended arm.
“Over the years he’s gained a lot of experience here and won over 20 titles with this club. Callum knows how to win big games.”
