Celtic's Nicolas Kuhn has been named in the SPFL's Team of the Week following a stellar performance in the Scottish League Cup against Falkirk.
The winger came off the bench for Celtic in the second half of Sunday's cup tie with his side trailing 2-1, before providing two quick-fire assists for teammate Adam Idah inside two minutes.
In the final stretch of the match, Kuhn then netted two goals himself in the space of just three minutes to ensure the hosts progressed to the competition's semi-finals, beating Falkirk 5-2 on the day.
Not only has Kuhn been named in the Team of the Week, he's only the best-11's Star Man:

"We don't typically include substitutes and we certainly don't often give them Star Man honours," reads the player's blurb on the SPFL website.
"But how could we opt for anyone else after Kuhn came off the bench with his side trailing 2-1 to Falkirk in the Premier Sports Cup, set up two goals and then scored a further two more?"
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
