Born again Celtic star named top player in SPFL Team of the Week

Celtic's Nicolas Kuhn has been named in the SPFL's Team of the Week following a stellar performance in the Scottish League Cup against Falkirk.

The winger came off the bench for Celtic in the second half of Sunday's cup tie with his side trailing 2-1, before providing two quick-fire assists for teammate Adam Idah inside two minutes.

In the final stretch of the match, Kuhn then netted two goals himself in the space of just three minutes to ensure the hosts progressed to the competition's semi-finals, beating Falkirk 5-2 on the day.

Not only has Kuhn been named in the Team of the Week, he's only the best-11's Star Man: 

"We don't typically include substitutes and we certainly don't often give them Star Man honours," reads the player's blurb on the SPFL website.

"But how could we opt for anyone else after Kuhn came off the bench with his side trailing 2-1 to Falkirk in the Premier Sports Cup, set up two goals and then scored a further two more?"
