Celtic enter the third international break of the season in strong form and with momentum in their legs.

You can now start to get a real gauge as to what is happening this season, who are the top performers and where the possible challenges lie.

As per, Brendan Rodgers has the champions sitting top of the pile and they are only three points behind second-placed Sporting Lisbon in the latest Champions League standings.

And, as of this moment, Aberdeen are fighting Celtic for the title, with the duo level on points after 11 matches, but it remains to be seen how far they will be able to take the fight.

The real answers could lie when players return from national duty because that’s when their the gruelling winter period kicks in without any time to breathe.

Celtic’s bench in itself would walk into every team in the country, which goes to show the depth in quality Rodgers has to work with.

But there is one man, now starting every week, who is standing above them all, according to Billy Dodds.

Nicolas Kuhn playing on ‘another planet’ for Celtic

Nicolas Kuhn is a prime example of not judging a player too early because it has taken some time for him to reach this level.

Arriving in January, the player had his off-field issues, as well as not having any pre-season under his belt, so that all contributed to people having concerns about him.

But now all of that is out of the window because Kuhn is performing on ‘another planet’, according to Billy Dodds, as he told Sportscene.

Even the former Rangers man couldn’t hide his admiration for a player who is probably the best performer in Scotland right now. 

“He was a good player,” said Dodds when Kuhn first arrived. “Maybe fitting in at a big club can take time.

“But this guy has moved on to another planet. He did well last season. Took his time. His goal against Kilmarnock is incredible and typifies where his mindset is. Where his confidence is.”

Kuhn’s numbers for Celtic

As soon as one superstar in Matt O’Riley leaves Celtic, another in Kuhn is being made and shaped into the next star in Glasgow.

It’s crazy to think that it’s not even Christmas yet, but Kuhn is already hitting double figures, not just in goals, but assists too.

If this guy can come close to matching what he has done during these early months in the second half of the campaign, then he could put up record-breaking numbers.

But, according to transfermarkt, he already has 21 goal contributions to his name.
