Despite a slow start to his Celtic career, Nicolas Kuhn is now shining brightly in the Scottish Premiership, with none other than former Rangers striker Kris Boyd naming him his Player of the Season so far.
Boyd’s endorsement comes as the German forward continues to impress, becoming a pivotal figure in Brendan Rodgers’ side during the 2024/25 campaign.
Kuhn, who joined Celtic with high expectations, struggled to find his rhythm initially, but this season he’s turned things around dramatically.
His performances have caught the eye of fans and pundits alike, none more so than in last weekend’s dramatic late win against Ross County, where Kuhn scored a last-minute winner to secure three crucial points for the Hoops. That goal encapsulated his recent form — sharp, decisive, and capable of producing moments of magic when it matters most.
Boyd, well-known for his Rangers connections, was asked who his standout player from the season has been so far. Reluctantly, he admitted that Kuhn, despite a less-than-stellar first few months in Glasgow, has now risen to become the most in-form player in Scotland.
Boyd recently spoke about Kuhn’s transformation: “He might have started a bit slowly (last season) but there were still glimpses there where you thought, there might be something there,” he said (The Warm Up via SunSport).
“It was just putting it all together, but I mean this season I think he’s been outstanding.”
Kuhn’s ability to turn around his form has been crucial for Celtic as they continue their domestic and European campaigns.
His creative play and goal-scoring prowess have made him a key figure in Rodgers’ plans, with fans now excited to see how far he can push his potential this season.
With his confidence growing by the week, Kuhn’s influence will likely keep growing as Celtic eye further success.
