Celtic winger Nicolas Kuhn claims that he was still ‘dizzy’ three days on from the forearm clash with Rangers star Jefte at Ibrox.
Brazilian left-back Jefte, 21, was shown a yellow card for the clash at the Rangers corner flag, the left-back’s flailing arm catching Celtic attacker Kuhn.
After a brief VAR review the on-pitch decision to hand Jefte a yellow card was upheld and Rangers went on to pulverise their rivals 3-0 in Glasgow’s southside.
Three days later and after scoring twice against St Mirren, Nicolas Kuhn is clearly still pretty aggrieved and referenced the situation come full-time on Sunday.
Nicolas Kuhn still ‘dizzy’ from Jefte foul
”I’m not the VAR but, yeah, there was also a kick,” said Kuhn, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
“But, as we said, it was not our best game. The situation, I don’t decide, and we have to keep going.
“I didn’t realise what happened in the moment, so afterwards I didn’t know if it was yellow or anything else.
“I don’t know if it’s broken. It’s a little bit painful, but we’ll be fine. I’m still a little bit dizzy but, yeah, it’s going to be fine. The loss was more painful.”
Rangers star pocketed Celtic winger
Whilst we’re sure the little cut on the bridge of Nicolas Kuhn’s nose is very, very painful, we’re pretty sure it’s the Celtic winger’s ego that’s more bruised than anything else.
Celtic were given the run around at Ibrox when Rangers romped to a stunning 3-0 victory with Jefte pocketing an ineffective Nicolas Kuhn on the day.
It’s fair to say the Rangers performance rattled the Celtic team and there’s a sensation that the dynamic might be starting to shift in the Old Firm fixture.
The comments will certainly cast a spotlight on Jefte v Nicolas Kuhn in the next Rangers v Celtic match but the entire thing is by-the-by when it comes to the Scottish Premiership title.
Rangers might’ve won the battle but given the Ibrox club’s astonishing incompetence away from home this season, they’re almost certainly going to lose the war.
