Celtic once again displayed their superiority in Scottish football with an impressive performance in the League Cup final at Hampden Stadium. Despite not reaching their full potential, the team showcased remarkable mental fortitude and resilience to secure victory.
Captain Callum McGregor acknowledged that Celtic had areas to improve upon, but emphasized that ultimately the most important thing was lifting the trophy at the end of the match. Daizen Maeda emerged as the hero, not only scoring the decisive penalty but also finding the back of the net during regular time.
His exuberant celebration in front of the disappointed Rangers supporters underscored their despair as yet again they left a big match empty-handed. Andy Halliday candidly admitted that this defeat was particularly painful, especially with Celtic’s standout performer, Nicolas Kuhn, causing havoc on the pitch throughout the game.
Halliday lauded Kuhn as the standout player for Celtic on the day and pointed out his impressive statistics for the season. Despite a slow start, Kuhn has evolved into an integral player for Celtic, contributing to an impressive 22 goal involvements. His growth and impact on the team have been undeniable, solidifying his position as one of their key performers on the pitch. The team’s continued success can be partially attributed to players like Kuhn, who have shown tremendous improvement and consistency throughout the season.
