Celtic’s title party has been put on hold after another worrying performance in the Premiership.
On Sunday, Celtic were beaten by St Johnstone, with the champions-elect losing to the Premiership’s bottom-of-the-table c

Kuhn’s stats for Celtic this season
It’s an interesting one with Kuhn because, when he first arrived, he struggled and needed six months to settle in.
Then, at the start of this current campaign, fans started to see the best of the player, and he was one of the first names on the teamsheet.
But, during the second half of the season, Kuhn has looked off-colour again, although his numbers still look strong, which perhaps doesn’t tell the whole story, as posted by transfermarkt.
