Nicolas Kuhn left Celtic in 2025, hoping to take his career to the next level, but it hasn’t worked out for the winger.

Given the dross Celtic fans have had to watch out wide since Kuhn’s exit, it makes his time at the club even better, despite the German losing his spark during his final months in Glasgow.

Kuhn joined an ambitious ship in Como, but he couldn’t get going at all under the highly-rated Cesc Fabregas, starting just seven times for the rising Italian giants.

That’s why Kuhn was loaned out in the summer to Borussia Mönchengladbach, but he has now been hit with injury woes.

‘Bitter setback’ in Nicolas Kuhn’s return to Germany

The one thing that will hurt Kuhn is the fact that Como are rising and rising in Europe, including scoring a staggering nine goals in a single Champions League game recently.

Kuhn was on RB Leipzig, Hannover 96 and Bayern Munich’s books as a youngster, without making an appearance for those clubs.

Celtic fans will remember Kuhn scoring against Bayern Munich, the last time the Hoops played in Europe’s elite competition, as well as that impressive win over Leipzig during the league phase.

But Kuhn’s return to Germany has only seen him make two appearances, with Gladbach’s sporting director Rouven Schröder lauding his directness and speed in the summer.

“Nicolas is versatile in attack, fast, can handle one-on-one situations, and is also a goal threat,” Schröder told Bild in the summer.

“He has demonstrated all of this, not least on the international stage. That’s why we are very pleased that this opportunity arose towards the end of the transfer window to bring him in on loan. He can strengthen us immediately.”

But as Bild have recently shared, Kuhn has been ‘plagued’ by injuries, including suffering a ‘torn muscle’ after just his second game.
