Celtic cruised to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Hibs, widening their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table to nine points ahead of Aberdeen this weekend.
Despite a few early scares from Hibs, Kasper Schemeichel saved the day for Celtic. Once Arne Engels scored in the 6th minute, it was clear that Celtic was the dominant team.
The decision to substitute Nicolas Kuhn at halftime raised some eyebrows among Celtic fans, prompting speculation of a potential injury concern. However, manager Brendan Rodgers explained his choice by praising James Forrest as the best he’s ever worked with for retaining possession on the wing.
Kuhn, who has been in excellent form this season, was subbed for the first time due to his performance. Forrest made an immediate impact with an assist for Kyogo Furuhashi’s goal, solidifying Celtic’s victory.
As Celtic faces Dinamo Zagreb in a crucial match, Rodgers will need all his players, including Kuhn, to be at their best to secure another win.
