A German media outlet has labelled Nicolas Kuhn a ‘German no-name professional’ after the winger stunned his former club RB Leipzig with an outstanding Champions League display last night.

Celtic came from behind to secure a thrilling 3-1 home win on matchday four, with Kuhn bagging a quick-fire brace at the end of the first half and earning a Player of the Match award for his efforts.

The 24-year-old spent part of his youth career in Leipzig’s academy before spells at Ajax and Bayern Munich.

Brendan Rodgers spent £3 million to bring the German-born winger to Celtic from Rapid Vienna in January 2024 on a five-and-a-half-year deal.

Following last night’s inspired performance against his former side, Kuhn has sent shockwaves throughout his homeland.
