In a match that was hardly short of drama, Celtic overcame Falkirk 5-2 on Sunday to progress to the semi-final of the Scottish League Cup.
The visitors fired themselves in front twice during the first half at Celtic Park and entered the break 2-1 to the good.
But shortly after Brendan Rodgers and his players returned from the interval, a number of changes affected the game – not least the introduction of Nicolas Kuhn.
Two quick-fire assists for teammate Adam Idah followed from the German midfielder, with Celtic levelling on 70 minutes and going ahead on 72.
Shortly after that again, Kuhn hit the net himself on the 81st and 84th minutes respectively to round out the afternoon's scoresheet.
"I'm always happy to score and to assist, and in the second half we showed another face. Luckily, well not luckily, happily we got the win," Kuhn told Celtic TV.
"The coaches told us about the other team. It was a difficult first half but I think in the second half we just showed what's in the team. I'm happy that we're through."

Kuhn added: "A full pre-season was important for me. Getting the connection with the team and the staff. I'm feeling really good and I hope it's going to keep going like that.
"I have great memories of [playing at Hampden last season], I'm looking forward to that."
