Celtic winger Nicolas Kuhn took to social media to express his pride after Bayern Munich knocked them out of the Champions League on Tuesday in heartbreaking circumstances (February 18).

The 25-year-old scored the opening goal in the second leg as the Scottish champions finally missed out on a place in the round of 16.

Kuhn scored Celtic’s only goal thanks to a defensive mishap from the Bayern defenders, making it 1-1 on aggregate with just over 30 minutes left to go in the game.

Brendan Rodger’s side looked set to take the German giants to extra time at the Allianz Arena until Alphonso Davies scored an equaliser in added time, sending the Bundesliga leaders through.

Kuhn also had an earlier goal ruled out in the reverse fixture at Celtic Park for offside, a decision that made former PGMOL chief and ex-FIFA official ‘sad’, even if it was the correct one.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Keith Wyness has said that Celtic are set to miss out on an ‘enormous’ £15million payday after being knocked out of Europe’s elite club competition.

The German winger has been key for Rodgers so far this season, starting 30 of his 37 games across all competitions, scoring 18 goals, and providing 12 assists in his 2497 minutes of action.

His fine form has seen him attract interest from several Premier League clubs but his agent has since spoken out regarding the matter.

Football Insider revealed ahead of the January transfer window, it would take a ‘hefty fee’ for Celtic to even consider selling their star man.

Kuhn took to Instagram to express his pride at their effort in the Champions League play-off against Bayern, simply saying: “So proud!”

Celtic are 13 points clear of Old Firm rivals Rangers in the race for the Scottish Premier League as they can now focus on winning a fourth consecutive league title.
