Celtic forced into late Dundee Utd line-up change, key winger drops out

Celtic have been forced to make a late alteration to their starting XI minutes before their Scottish Premiership clash against Dundee United.

Star man Nicolas Kuhn was meant to begin the match at Parkhead as part of an unchanged team from Sunday's 3-0 win over St Mirren.

However, it appears that something occurred during the warm up and now Yang Hyun-Jun will start in that right-wing position instead.

Peter Grant on Celtic TV co-commentary reacted to the news and suggested that Kuhn, who has scored 16 times from 27 appearances this season, had sustained a thigh injury.

“It looks as if it’s his right thigh,” Grant said.

“You can’t take any chances on either thigh or the hamstrings.

“You can’t run it off, if it’s a tear he could miss up to six weeks, so he has made the right decision.

“He’s made the correct decision, the mature decision, because as soon as you feel that, it’s the biggest muscle. So it takes the longest to heal.”
