Celtic’s title celebrations have been put on hold after a disappointing loss to St Johnstone, the Premiership’s bottom-of-the-table club. The champions-elect were outplayed, and their performance has raised concerns about the team’s form since the turn of the year.
Chris Sutton, former Celtic player and current pundit, was critical of Celtic’s display, stating that they “still have work to do.” Sutton also questioned Nicolas Kuhn’s drop-off in form, wondering what has happened to the player who was once a key name on the team sheet.
Kuhn’s stats for the season still look impressive, but Sutton’s concerns are valid. When Kuhn first arrived, he struggled to adapt, but after a six-month settling-in period, he began to shine. This season, he was initially one of Celtic’s top performers, but his form has slumped in the second half of the campaign.
Sutton’s comments on social media highlighted St Johnstone’s impressive win, particularly goalkeeper Andy Fisher’s outstanding performance. However, he also acknowledged Celtic’s 13-point lead at the top of the table, which provides some comfort despite their current struggles. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how manager Brendan Rodgers addresses the team’s issues and whether he can get his players back on track.
