Celtic have confidence flowing through their veins after booking their progression to the Premier Sports Cup final after a 6-0 victory over Aberdeen.

On a day when the Bhoys illustrated the gulf in class between themselves and the rest in Scotland, selecting a standout from proceedings would be a difficult task for anyone to undertake.

Defensively, Auston Trusty and Cameron Carter-Vickers were imperious. Meanwhile, Daizen Maeda, Arne Engels, Kyogo Furuhashi and Nicolas Kuhn were all instrumental in attack as Celtic swept aside Aberdeen without breaking a sweat.

Brendan Rodgers is spoiled for choice at the moment. Domestically, whoever he slots in seems to be coping admirably, so it will be intriguing to see how many keep their places for tomorrow’s test against RB Leipzig in the Champions League.

While that creeps to the forefront of the Celtic-minded agenda, Ross McCormack believes one Bhoy has stole the show this campaign.

Ross McCormack on the Nicolas Kuhn impact at Celtic

Speaking on the Scottish Football Podcast, McCormack believes Nicolas Kuhn has cemented himself as the best player in the Scottish Premiership this season as he continues to produce consistency under Rodgers’ stewardship.

He stated: “I agree with absolutely everything Aiden said there; the best player in the league, Kuhn, I can only echo those comments; he’s been absolutely fantastic.

“Every game I’ve watched him, every time he gets the ball, it looks like something is going to happen.

“The way Kuhn is playing now, if you go back to Rangers, the way Cerny plays, that’s probably what the Rangers fans expected from Cerny.”

Nicolas Kuhn’s magnificent Celtic form continues

With Kuhn’s influence in full swing this campaign, the German winger is now on to 17 goal involvements in 15 appearances, hitting double-figures in assists to accompany his seven strikes.

Stat-trackers Fotmob back up the notion that he has been the Scottish Premiership’s most consistent performer, creating 20 chances on league duty alongside completing 15 dribbles.

Following Kuhn’s early struggles at Celtic due to illness, he is a different animal this campaign, which is a story supporters all hope can continue for the foreseeable future.
