Even Rangers fans admit truth about Celtic after RB Leipzig game
Celtic have had wins against high-profile teams in the Champions League before. But rarely has it been as convincing as their 3-1 win against RB Leipzig. The Hoops were the much better team on the night and it was relatively a comfortable result. And one player was at the centre of it all- Nicolas Kuhn.
RB Leipzig had actually taken the lead. No Celtic fan could be blamed for thinking that it was going to be another one of those nights when the Hoops conceded a few goals and never came back.
Instead, Kuhn scored a superb goal to bring Celtic level and then gave them the lead about 10 minutes later. And it would be safe to say that he was brilliant after the break as well, even though he might not have completed his hattrick. It was Reo Hatate who scored the third and was thoroughly deserving of being on the scoresheet.
On the night, even Rangers fans started to admit how Celtic's recruitment was far better than that of the Ibrox club. Kuhn was signed from Rapid Vienna in January for a transfer fee believed to be in the region of £3 million.

This result should give a huge confidence boost to Celtic. After four games in the Champions League, they have seven points. A very respectable tally when you look around the table and the kind of teams they are level with.
Now, it is about building on this momentum. On paper, they have three winnable games left alongside a visit to in-form Aston Villa.
So, the Hoops are in a very good spot when it comes to potentially making it to the next round of the competition. Let's see how it plays out for them.
