Celtic Star Nicolas Kuhn Under Fire After Subpar Performance Against Rangers
Celtic’s surprise 3-0 defeat at the hands of Rangers on Sunday has sparked intense scrutiny, with one of the team’s standout players, Nicolas Kuhn, coming under fire for his lackluster display. The 23-year-old German winger, who has been linked with a move to the Premier League, was criticized by former Celtic striker Chris Sutton for his careless passing and sluggish performance.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Sutton singled out Kuhn for his poor display, stating, “Once again, a really careless pass from Nicolas Kuhn. Carter-Vickers did well.” Rangers hero Neil McCann concurred with Sutton’s assessment, adding, “He has been sluggish, Chris.” Sutton further elaborated on Kuhn’s performance, suggesting that complacency may have played a role in his subpar display. “He has. If there was any Celtic player who hasn’t covered themselves in glory. Whether it’s complacency.”
Sutton’s comments were echoed on social media platform X, where he posted, “No complaints. Celtic as flat as anything. Rangers deserved it and were better in every department. It’s a testament to Brendan Rodgers and the team the run they’ve been on and the standards set. Never a bad thing to get a reality check. Winning titles is hard. Still work to do…”
Kuhn’s performance against Rangers was a far cry from his usual standards, which have earned him a reputation as one of Celtic’s most promising young players. His display on Sunday, however, has raised questions about his ability to perform under pressure and his suitability for a move to the Premier League.
Despite the setback, Celtic remains firmly in control of the Scottish Premiership, with an 11-point lead over Rangers. However, the defeat serves as a timely reminder that the team cannot afford to become complacent, especially with the transfer window set to open soon.
As the speculation surrounding Kuhn’s future continues to swirl, Celtic fans will be eager to see how the young winger responds to the criticism. Will he use the setback as an opportunity to regroup and refocus, or will the pressure of expectation prove too much to handle? Only time will tell.
In the meantime, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers will be working to ensure that his team bounces back from the defeat and maintains its momentum in the league. With several key players expected to return from injury soon, the Hoops will be looking to regain their dominance and push on towards another Scottish Premiership title.
As for Kuhn, the young winger will be eager to put the disappointment of Sunday’s defeat behind him and prove himself as a key player for Celtic. With the transfer window looming, Kuhn’s performances in the coming weeks will be under intense scrutiny, and he will need to demonstrate his ability to perform under pressure if he is to secure a move to the Premier League.
