Celtic played their final Scottish Premiership clash of the season last Saturday on Trophy Day against St Mirren.
The Buddies threatened to spoil the day as they led 1-0 in stoppage time at the end of the game. But up stepped James Forrest to score the equaliser in what was a fairytale ending.
Forrest scored in his 16th consecutive season for Celtic, just a few weeks after becoming the most decorated Hoops player of all-time.
The Celtic winger was a 54th minute substitute for Nicolas Kuhn, who did not have one of his better games despite returning to form in recent matches.
And when Kuhn was walking off, a former Celtic player claimed the winger wasn’t best pleased.
Paul Slane on ‘raging’ Nicolas Kuhn against St Mirren
Open Goal pundit Paul Slane took in Celtic vs St Mirren and said that Kuhn was ‘raging’ as he was subbed off by Brendan Rodgers.
And the ex-Celtic kid thinks there could be some friction between the winger and the Hoops manager that could influence the Scottish Cup final starting XI.
Slane said: “Kuhn was raging though that he got taken off early on Saturday, he was shaking his head. He was fuming shaking his head at Rodgers, so is there a fall-out there?
“There might be, I don’t know. I’m just saying that might go into his (Rodgers) thinking (for the Scottish Cup final starting XI).”
Nicolas Kuhn or James Forrest for Scottish Cup final?
Chris Sutton isn’t sure if Kuhn should start the Scottish Cup final as a result of his underwhelming performance against St Mirren, coupled with Forrest’s impact in recent games.
Forrest has grabbed a goal and an assist in his last two appearances and terrorised the back lines of Aberdeen and the Buddies.
Of course, Kuhn has been the better player across the season and has 36 goal contributions in 50 games for Celtic this campaign.
That may not even be the decision to make for Rodgers. It could well be between Adam Idah and Forrest for a starting spot at Hampden.
