Celtic Training Update: 8 Things Spotted as Nicolas Kuhn Injury Fears Addressed
Celtic will look to continue their unbeaten run in the domestic season with a win against Ross County on Sunday. However, injury news will dominate fans’ minds after seeing star winger Nicolas Kuhn pick up a slight knock against Club Brugge in midweek.
The Hoops drew 1-1 against the Belgians to put them onto eight points from five games in the UEFA Champions League. It’s likely that just one more win will see the club qualify for the play-off phase.
But for now, attentions turn to the league. Celtic are two points ahead of second-placed Aberdeen with a game in hand, and a win in the east end could see them race clear.
