Nicolas Kuhn sends five-word message to Celtic fans
Celtic winger Nicolas Kuhn has taken to social media to thank the fans for their support in their 3-1 Champions League win over RB Leipzig on Tuesday (November 5).
The 24-year-old was awarded the Man of the Match award after bagging a brace against his former club to secure a memorable win for Brendan Rodgers’ side at Celtic Park.
Leipzig opened the scoring after 26 minutes through a Christoph Baumgartner header before Kuhn got his first goal with an exquisite curling effort from just outside the box.
Not long after he got his second, this time with a tap-in to put his side ahead just before half-time and make Rodgers’ team talk a whole lot easier.
Reo Hatate got their third in the 72nd minute to send the Scottish champions up into 13th in the new Champions League league format.
Given the financial disparity between the two clubs both on and off the pitch, Celtic have set down a marker with this shock victory.
